| Solid Waste Program |
| The Solid Waste Program regulates the disposal
of solid wastes such as municipal garbage, tires, yard waste, construction
and demolition debris, contaminated soil, and sludge. The program also
issues solid waste disposal permits, reviews and approves plans and specifications,
performs inspections of disposal sites, and investigates complaints pertaining
to the improper disposal of solid waste. For most solid waste activities in Summit County, the Environmental Health works closely with Utah Department of Environmental Quality. We also work with Summit County's Planning Department when local issues such as zoning and land use are involved. Complaints Proper disposal of solid waste is important to protect public health and the environment. The Environmental Health Division investigates complaints about improper disposal of solid waste. |
| Hazardous Waste Program |
| The Hazardous Waste Program is responsible
for enforcing the county’s hazardous waste rules and regulations.
These management standards apply to generators and transporters of hazardous
waste, used oil and universal waste. The program also enforces permitting
requirements for hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities.
Hazardous Waste staff provides technical assistance to regulated businesses
and to local government to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
Chemical and Hazardous Material Spills When there is an oil spill or other chemical spill in Summit County, the Environmental Health Division assists the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to help ensure proper cleanup. Please visit the DEQ's website for more information about their Spill Response Program. To report a spill, contact the Summit County Health Department at 435-336-3222. |
