Ohio Gov. Appoints Local Businessman to C&D Committee

Steven Bowser joins group to advise on disposal guidelines.

 

Ohio Gov. Bob Taft has named a Dayton, Ohio, construction company official to a new six-member committee to set up guidelines regarding disposal of construction and demolition debris, according to a report in the Dayton Business Journal (Dayton, Ohio).

 

Steven Bowser, president and general manager of Dayton-based Bowser-Morner Inc., will serve on the Construction and Demolition Debris Facility Study Committee until Sept. 30, when the committee's work is scheduled to be complete.

 

Taft created the committee through a provision in June’s state budget. The committee will study Ohio's laws governing C&D debris facilities and make recommendations to the General Assembly on potential changes, according to the report.

 

The committee will look at creating a code of ethics for facility owners and operators, best management practices’ state licensing, testing and monitoring requirements, state and local regulatory control, fees and facility closure procedures.
