Last week, I tweeted about Miramar landfill being the first municipal landfill in the nation to receive ISO 14001 certification. I was quoting the city from its own website, and was expressing concern that the request for qualifications for privatization of the landfill did not include the certification.

The Miramar landfill Environmental Management System website had the following statement in bold-face (see this screenshot):

“The Miramar Landfill is the first municipally operated landfill in the nation to earn ISO 14001 certification of an Environmental Management System!”

Today, the Miramar landfill website has been changed. There are no links to the Environmental Management System from the department’s homepage. And if you do type in the URL, the statement above has been removed.
