Board staff enters this data into the DRS database, triple checks the entry to ensure it matches the tonnage submitted by each county, and then releases the finalized data in yearly increments. Only finalized data are shown in these reports.

Alternative daily cover (ADC) means Board-approved materials other than soil used as a temporary overlay on an exposed landfill face. Note: ADC by material type is not available prior to 1998.

The original format DRS web report, used by many jurisdictions to check their disposal tonnage prior to filing an annual report, is listed below as "Jurisdiction Disposal and ADC Tons by Facility."

• Statewide Reports
• Waste Flow by Origin Reports
• Waste Flow by Destination Reports
• Facility Snapshot
