![TENNESSEE The Tennessee Department of Public Health received a three-year Solid Waste Disposal Planning Grant on January 1, 1967. Personnel. The Tennessee solid wastes planning unit is staffed by two full-time sanitary engineers. The program is supervised by the Director of the Environmental Sanitation Service, who devotes 20 per- cent of his time to this function. A third engineer is currently ob- taining a master's degree and upon completion of this schooling will rejoin the program. Solid Waste Survey. The State is completing its survey using the forms developed by Public Health Service. A community description re- port is being prepared for each of the 306 incorporated places and 95 counties, exclusive of the incorporated communities contained therein. Forms are also being completed for each land disposal site and each facility in the State. Coordination. When the State solid waste survey is complete, rep- resentatives of the State air pollution, stream pollution, and planning agencies will be drawn together with solid waste personnel to form an advisory committee which will guide the development of statewide solid waste planning. Preliminary meetings have already been held. 8]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b32170919_0087.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
