PUBLIC NOTICE is given in accordance with Title 132 - Integrated Solid Waste Management Regulations, Chapter 2, §011, that the Nebraska Department of Water, Energy, and Environment (DWEE) has received an application to issue a permit to Solid Waste Agency of Northwest Nebraska (SWANN), P.O. Box 590, Chadron NE 69337. After review of the permit application, a preliminary determination has been made to recommend issuance of the permit. The term of the permit shall be five years.
FACILITY DESCRIPTION. The permit allows the operation of a new solid waste transfer station under Nebraska's solid waste management laws and regulations. The transfer station permit allows for transfer of solid wastes, which are generated off the premises of the facility, to a solid waste disposal area or solid waste processing facility. The existing SWANN Transfer Station, which is permitted separately under Permit No. NE0203556, will transition the majority of its operations to the SWANN North Transfer Station once the new transfer station is permitted.
FACILITY LOCATION. The property is located at 1122 E. Niobrara Avenue, Chadron NE 69337. The legal description of SWANN North Transfer Station is Lot 101, Block 1, Northeast Second Subdivision to the City of Chadron, Dawes County, Nebraska. The SWANN North Transfer Station is located approximately 200 feet north of the existing SWANN Transfer Station at 1010 E. Niobrara Avenue.
