of state and local agencies. However, it behooves all professionals to collab-
orate, hopefully before any land is purchased and contractors are retained.
Councils of government (COGs) and other “A-95” organizations can be
rich resources when considering options on siting. They can help avoid the
need for problems long before implementation, to say nothing of contentious
zoning appeal and planning commission meetings and perception problems at
public hearings. Accessibility to services is attractive, but the adverse aspects
of facilities providing the services, e.g. adors and noise near a factory, are
likely to be avoided by the public.
13. Numerous textbooks address the topic of incineration in general and haz-
ardous waste incineration in particular. For example, see C. N. Haas and R. J.
Ramos, Hazardous and Industrial Waste Treatment , Prentice Hall, Upper Seddle
River, NJ, 1995; C. A. Wentz, Hazardous Waste Management , McGraw-Hill,
New York, 1989; and J. J. Peirce, R. F. Weiner, and P. A. Vesilind, Environ-
mental Pollution and Control , Butterworth-Heinemann, Boston, MA, 1998.
