Review Waste and Recycling

The MPCA oversees much of the waste, recycling, and disposal activities in Minnesota. MPCA permits are required for construction, modification, and operation of solid waste management facilities where waste is treated, stored, processed, transferred, or disposed. This includes:
  • municipal solid waste and specialty landfills.
  • composting facilities.
  • recycling and material recovery facilities.
  • waste incinerators.
  • transfer stations.

Forms:

Permit applications

Facilities seeking permits must provide both a completed application and supplemental information, such as an operations plan, closure plan, contingency action plan, and sampling/analysis plan. The application and other required information must be submitted together; previously submitted plans and specifications will not be considered for the permit application. Submit both a hard copy and a PDF version of the application form, checklists, and supporting documents.

A "minor modification" means a change that won't result in actual or potential increases in the facility's pollution discharges and that won't hamper the agency's ability to monitor the permittee's compliance.

Application checklists

MPCA staff have developed checklists to help you ensure that your permit application includes all the required information. Be sure to complete all checklists that apply to your facility, and include them with your application.
