AVCOG provides environmental management services to towns, solid waste
districts and associations, water districts and lake associations. Most
services can be classified as technical assistance and range from public
education to actually designing aspects of solid waste facilities. Our staff
includes two registered professional engineers, with considerable experience in
solid waste management, watershed protection, stormwater management and road
maintenance for water quality improvement.
The environmental management services are funded through a U.S. Department of
Agriculture - Rural Development Grant, Maine Department of Environmental
Protection Grants and US Environmental Protection Agency Grants, and
fee-for-service.
