On Monday, March 18, 2013, Councilmember Mary M. Cheh, Chairperson of the Committee on the Transportation and the Environment, will hold a public oversight roundtable on the study of a waste-to-energy facility in the District.

In December 2012, the Mayor announced a $300,000 Sustainable DC grant to the Department of Public Works for studying the costs and benefits of establishing a waste-to-energy facility in the District.  This roundtable will afford the public an opportunity to comment on this initiative and will allow the Department of Public Works to discuss the process for this study and the District’s long-term waste management plans. 

 

The Committee invites the public to testify or to submit written testimony, which will be made a part of the official Hearing Record. Anyone wishing to testify should contact Ms. Aukima Benjamin, staff assistant to the Committee on Transportation and the Environment, at [phone] or via e-mail at [e-mail].  Persons representing organizations will have five minutes to present their testimony.  Individuals will have three minutes to present their testimony.  Witnesses should bring 8 copies of their written testimony and should submit a copy of their testimony electronically to [e-mail].

 

If you are unable to testify in person, written statements are encouraged and will be made a part of the official record.  Copies of written statements should be submitted to Ms. Aukima Benjamin, staff assistant to the Committee on Transportation and the Environment, John A. Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 108, Washington, D.C. 20004.  They may also be e-mailed to [e-mail] or faxed to [phone].  The record will close at the end of the business day on April 1, 2013.
