Based on the detailed evaluation, preliminary conclusions and recommendations shall be made as to the relative ranking of each solid waste management alternative from an acceptability standpoint. The ranking methodology shall be outlined. One tentative solid waste management alternative shall be selected for potential implementation and the reasons for selection shall be indicated.

NR 185.07(7) (7) Detailed evaluation and preliminary selection of implementation methods. A detailed evaluation of the implementation methods developed in sub. (5) shall be made and preliminary conclusions, recommendations and selections shall be made of the implementation methods for the solid waste management alternative selected in sub. (6) shall be made.

Final conclusions, recommendations and decisions shall be made and indicated relative to what solid waste alternative will be implemented and what implementation methods will be used. The methodology and reasons for the final decisions shall be indicated. The details of the solid waste management functions to be provided and implementation methods shall be indicated. Time lines for solid waste management system development, operation, and periodic review shall be prepared indicating responsibilities and implementation dates. Separate time lines shall be developed for the total system and each waste management function.

NR 185.07(9) (9) Summary of past and future information, education and public participation programs. The programs developed and implemented pursuant to s.
