The county advisory committee may be composed of representatives from citizen organizations, industry, the private solid waste industry operating within the county, the private recycling or scrap material processing industry operating within the county, the county coordinator, and any other persons deemed appropriate by the mayor. The county advisory committee shall review the plan during its preparation, make suggestions, and propose any changes it believes are appropriate.

(b)Prior to formal adoption by the county, the county shall submit the proposed plan to the office for review and comment. The office shall provide its comments to the county within ninety days of receiving the proposed plan. Following the office's review, the county shall make the proposed plan available for public review and comment for a period of not less than sixty days. The county shall hold at least one public hearing on the proposed plan during this period.

(c)Following formal adoption of the plan by the county, the county shall submit the adopted plan to the office for review. The adopted plan shall be accompanied by a document that contains for each comment received from the State or the public, a response detailing how the comment has been addressed in the plan or, if it has not been addressed, the reason for not doing so.
