             RESOURCE RECOVERY PLANT IMPLEMENTATION:
                 GUIDES FOR MUNICIPAL OFFICIALS

                       FURTHER ASSISTANCE


Compiled by Denise Hawkins*


     Since the emerging resource recovery industry is evolving rapidly,
statements in this report related to economics, technologies, and risk
may quickly become outmoded by the new facts being created daily by
innovative public officials, consulting engineers and recovery plant
builders throughout the United States.  Readers of this Guide are
encouraged, therefore, to supplement the information contained herein
with the more detailed and more current information obtainable from
such sources.  For this purpose, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency has compiled in this section the following resources as a
guide to further assistance.

     I.  A listing of contacts in localities actively planning
         resource recovery systems.  This list also includes the
         consultants they have employed, the systems they have
         selected, and the companies chosen to construct their
         systems.

    II.  A listing of those companies that are marketing resource
         recovery systems.

   III.  A listing of organizations and associations that can
         provide information about resource recovery.

    IV.  A bibliography of articles and publications, both technical
         and nontechnical, with pertinent information on resource
         recovery.

     These listings are not intended to be comprehensive, nor does
the inclusion of any consultant or company imply the endorsement of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Division, Office of Solid Waste Management Programs, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency.

             COMMUNITIES AND STATES ACTIVELY SEEKING
                    RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEMS
     The following list of communities and States that are actively
seeking resource recovery systems is presented alphabetically by
State and then by community.   Unless a private company or special
authority is specified in parentheses, the State or community is
the legal entity that is interested in procuring a resource recovery
plant.  Not all communities considering resource recovery are included;
the list is restricted to those localities that are judged to be
furthest along toward implementation of operational systems.

     Following the name of the locality is an abbreviation indicating
the type of system it has selected.  A (P) indicates oil  or gas
pyrolysis; (SF) solid fuel, either shredded, pulped, or pelletized;
(M) total materials recovery; (W) waterwall  incineration  to produce
steam; and, (U) undecided.  The energy recovery systems may also
include some recovery of materials, but the major emphasis is on
energy recovery.

     Consultants and system vendors are listed in column  two.  The
consultants listed are those companies that have provided assistance
in the form of financial advice, feasibility studies, legal counsel,
preparation of requests for proposals, etc.   The letters  following
the consultant's name indicate his primary contribution to the
project:  (T) technical, (M) managerial, (F) financial, and (L) legal.
Some consultants have provided expertise in more than one field.

     System vendors are listed in the same column as consultants and
are designated by the symbol  (SV).  The vendors have been chosen by
the entity in column one to design and supervise construction of a
resource recovery plant.  In some cases, the vendor has also provided
financial, managerial or technical assistance to the locality.  However,
the primary function of the vendor is to design and supervise
construction.  In many cases, the vendor will also operate the plant
upon completion.

               RESOURCE RECOVERY SYSTEMS MARKETED
                      IN THE UNITED STATES
     The following is a list of those companies that are known by
EPA to be marketing complete resource recovery systems in the
United States.  It is intended to be as comprehensive as possible;
however, there may be firms that are not known by EPA.  These
companies and systems are at varying stages of commercial development.

     Consultants and those firms which offer only partial systems or
components of systems are not included.

     This list is provided solely as an information resource for city
officials wishing to notify resource recovery companies of their
desire to implement resource recovery.  Inclusion in this list does
not imply endorsement, nor even current information on the part of
EPA regarding system development, reliability, economics, or
environmental acceptability.
