The Colorado Department of Public Health&Environment(CDPHE), Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division reviewed Vail Honeywagon's Engineering Design and Operations Plan (EDOP)to verify that the solid waste facility will be designed and operated in compliance with State solid waste regulations. CDPHE approved Vail Honeywagon's EDOP and recommended approval with conditions to Eagle County.

The Board of County Commissioners, having jurisdiction,would look at the site for its proper location. The Certificate of Designation may be subject to conditions, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment reviewed the application and prepared a letter that had a number of conditions.

Any modifications would be reviewed by the State. The technical conditions were incorporated into the Certificate of Designation, and the proposed certificate required compliance with the Engineering Design and Operation Plan and conditions as approved.
