With the acquisition, development or expansion of a waste management or disposal facility or
transfer station requires considerable time, effort, and investment to obtain or maintain required
permits and approvals. There are no assurances that companies will be able to obtain or maintain
required governmental approvals. Once obtained, operating permits are subject to renewal,
modification, suspension or revocation by the issuing agency. Compliance with current
regulations and future requirements could require companies to make significant capital and
operating expenditures. However, most of these expenditures are made in the normal course of
business.
