Upcoming Public Hearings & Meetings:

Please use the sign-in form to register your attendance and/or submit a comment to be read by the hearing moderator during the hearing.

Virtual Participation Instructions and Guidance

(For participation in public meetings/hearings virtually)

Please note that you may also participate in public hearings by telephone. Call-in information for each hearing, as well as a number to call during the hearing for technical assistance, is provided in each public notice.

The Division of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) recognizes the importance of public input in the permitting process. Public notices are used to advise the public about new applications, tentative and final permit decisions, and opportunities for the public to provide input into the decision making process. Public notices may be placed in local newspapers, and radio stations may be used to broadcast a notice.

Members of the public can also request to have notices sent directly to their attention. DSWM maintains the Solid/Hazardous Waste Management Mailing List for this purpose. To be added to the mailing list, please complete and submit a Mailing List Request form (CN-0837). If you have any questions concerning this form, you may contact the Division of Solid Waste Management at Solid.Waste@tn.gov or 615-532-0780.

Additional information about the facilities and permits addressed by these notices may be found in the Solid Waste Management Dataviewer.
