5.4 Institutional arrangements

5.4.1
Chapter 3 of the Waste Act provides for the designation of a national waste management officer within DEAT with responsibility for co-ordinating waste management within government, as well as provincial waste management officers and municipal waste management officers within each municipality authorized to provide waste management services.

5.4.2
The NWMS will need to define the manner in which waste officers fulfil their responsibilities. One such responsibility is likely to be development and implementation of the integrated waste management plans contemplated by this chapter of the Waste Act.
