Membership The makeup of the Materials Management Planning Committee (MMPC) will consist of 11 members. The initial term of each appointment will be for 5 years. Materials Management Planning Committee 11 Members 1 County Elected Official 1 City Elected Official 1 Township Elected Official 1 SEMCOG Representative 1 Operator of Business Generating Managed Material 1 Environmental Interest Group Representative 1 Solid Waste Disposal Facility Operator 1 Waste Hauler 1 Material Recovery Facility Operator 1 Composting/Anaerobic Digester Facility Operator 1 Waste Diversion, Reuse or Reduction Facility Operator About The Materials Management Planning Committee will oversee implementation of the Materials Management Plan (MMP). MMPs are required by amendments to Part 115, Solid Waste Management, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (Part 115), specifically Subpart 11, Materials Management Plans. These changes focus on sustainable materials management approaches, such as recycling and composting, instead of primarily disposal. MMPs, once approved, will replace existing solid waste management plans. Each county is required by law to have an MMP that assures adequate materials management capacity for all non-hazardous solid waste generated in the county. The plan will also assure that managed material is collected, processed, or disposed of at facilities that are consistent with the county plan and comply with state laws and rules. This can include organics, recyclables, solid waste, and other materials. MMPs will also identify and regulate local criteria for siting of all materials management facilities, such as landfills, solid waste processing and transfer facilities, materials recovery facilities, composting facilities, and anaerobic digesters. Plan Development After the new Committee is in place, an RFP will be prepared and published for a consultant to assist with development of the Materials Management Plan (MMP). It is anticipated that EGLE will provide funding for this contract to county for MMP planning and implementation. The Planning Division will develop the RFP with guidance from the new Materials Management Planning Committee and collaborate with the Oakland County Purchasing Department and the Board of Commissioners to approve the contract(s) and appropriate the funds. POLICY ANALYSIS Interviews were conducted on April 2nd, April 16th and May 14th. The remaining applicants will be interviewed today, and then the LAGO Committee makes its recommendations today for appointments to the Full Board of one member for each of the 11 categories.

Choose all that apply: - Environmental interest group Are you applying for reappointment? No Explain why you would like to serve on this Board/Committee/Commission Hello! Thank you for considering my application to join Oakland County’s new Materials Management Planning Committee. I am a Rochester resident and incredibly passionate about environmental stewardship and responsible waste management. I work for the global nonprofit Compassion in World Farming where I am the Head of Food Business. In my role, I support global and national corporations (Sodexo, Compass Group, Target, HelloFresh, etc.) develop meaningful and transparent sustainability policies. One area we work on directly is diverting food waste from landfills and instead turning it into on-farm biomass - compost! This is not only a sustainability initiative but also benefits companies financially as well. Because of my global work, I can provide this Committee with trends and practices from around the world to help support Oakland County’s waste management goals. I also currently sit on the City Beautiful Commission with the City of Rochester and am involved with the Rochester Pollinators. Through this local appointment, I am directly connected and communicate regularly with residents of Oakland County and have heard many questions and concerns about our waste management for residents. While I was a graduate student at Yale University, I worked directly within Yale’s Sustainability Department to increase composting and recycling and decrease waste ending in landfills. I was awarded the Certificate of Outstanding Recognition from the university on my leadership toward institutional sustainability. Personally, I am converting my home’s landscape to be fully native plants that can help support our local ecosystems and practice a near-Zero Waste lifestyle with my family. With this experience, coupled with my ability to foster and facilitate meaningful conversations and change, I can be an advocate for both Oakland County residents and our local ecosystems, aiming to transform Oakland County to become a leader in sustainable practices in the State of Michigan. It is possible! What is necessary is having multiple stakeholders at the table to ensure we can collaboratively and effectively meet Oakland County’s goals. So often the word “sustainability” feels vague or too big to capture and we can feel that local impact does not make a difference. I hope to change that for Oakland County and make responsible waste management a staple for our residents. Our actions in Oakland County have a national and global impact, and we can become the leaders in the nation. My relevant work experience and unique perspective would be an asset to this Committee. I love Oakland County and I hope you will consider me to join this important and necessary initiative. Have you previously served on a Board/Committee/Commission?
