In December, 2009, Connie Henry and Terrance Stewart of the Tangipahoa Parish Environmental Services obtained their Level A Certification in solid waste disposal. It is very important to all citizens of this state, and the safety and welfare of the people of Louisiana, that efficient and reasonable regulation of solid waste processing and disposal practices as well as a coordinated statewide resource recovery and management program are followed. Certification and training of solid waste operators are essential elements of the state's program and are needed to ensure the proper processing, disposal, and utilization of solid waste.
A level "A" certificate encompasses all of the technical, regulatory, administrative, and management knowledge needed to perform all of the duties necessary for the proper operation of the entire solid waste facility. It also encompasses both procedural and operational aspects of a processing or disposal facility (all technical, regulatory, administrative, and management duties necessary for the proper operation of the solid waste processing or disposal facility).
