a Included in variances granted.
b For example, a regulation developed for municipal solid waste or commercial landfill.
c Included because other States treat request as a variance.
d For example, in one case it appears that the regulator included a variance in the landfill permit because it was granted for an
earlier stage of the landfill. In another case, wetlands must be added in a 2:1 ratio to compensate for location nearer surface water
than allowed, and in yet a third case, a variance was granted on the basis of findings in the engineering report.
