Abstract
Abstract Some interesting trends are emerging out of the maze of state agencies involved in environmental management. Many states have begun consolidation of existing agencies and functions into pollution control agencies, or environmental “super-departments.” Other states, such as Maine and Vermont, have initiated statewide land use control programs with systems of development permits. In Vermont, the control system will implement a statewide land use plan. And in Maryland, a state agency has been authorized to construct and operate solid and liquid waste treatment and disposal facilities, based on regional waste management plans. The unique middle layer perspective of the states appears well-suited to effective environmental planning and management.
