Council of SEMASS Communities (COSC).
Covanta SEMASS is also committed to providing those living in our communities with a better understanding of the benefits of their neighborhood Energy-from-Waste facility. Covanta SEMASS sponsors and supports periodic meetings of the Council of SEMASS Communities (COSC) which includes representatives from all sixty (60) SEMASS long-term contracted communities. Meetings are typically semi-annually to annually or more frequent, if required. These meetings allow discussion of upcoming contractual items, other issues of concern related to community needs for solid waste processing and disposal.
