Personnel. The Louisiana solid waste unit is staffed by six full-time professionals, with 1] others serving on a part-time basis. Solid Waste Survey. The Louisiana solid waste survey is very nearly completed. All communities with a 1960 census of 3,500 or more have been surveyed. The State is now is the process of completing the survey for the smaller communities. The survey of small areas is about 25 percent complete, and all community surveys completed account for 80 percent of the total state population. The land disposal sites and facilities are being surveyed along with their associated communities. The survey is being conducted on a parish basis. When all sur- veys within the parish have been completed, a report is sy yeeycal and submitted to local authorities giving broad recommendations and con- taining other pertinent information. Coordination. A close working relationship with several regional planning groups within the State has been established. Close coor- dination has been established with such agencies as the State Depart- ment of Public Works, Livestock Sanitary Board, Department of Agri- culture, and air and water pollution control agencies.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b32170919_0040.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
