There are three Solid Waste Management Authorities in Nevada, each of which administers State solid waste management regulations, including permitting and enforcement, in their areas of jurisdiction: the Southern Nevada Health District, the Washoe County Health District and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection- (NDEP). The NDEP has direct jurisdiction over all counties outside of Clark and Washoe and also has responsibility to oversee the Clark and Washoe Counties' solid waste programs
