Jurisdictions & Permitting — There are three Solid Waste Management Authorities, each of which administers State solid waste management regulations, including permitting and enforcement, in their areas of jurisdiction: the Southern Nevada Health District,
the Washoe County Health District and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection- (NDEP). The NDEP has direct jurisdiction over all counties outside of Clark and Washoe and also has responsibility to oversee the Clark and Washoe Counties' solid waste programs. The NDEP's Solid Waste Branch includes staff responsible for permitting and inspecting municipal and industrial solid waste disposal sites, as well as staff dedicated to waste reduction, reuse and recycling programs. MSWLF regulations follow the state regulations promulgated in the Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) which mirror the federal requirements of 40 CFR Part 258. The NDEP also either permits or approves other facilities as necessary.
