order the question to be submitted to the voters of such county whether
a solid waste disposal district, the boundaries of which shall be
coextensive with the boundaries of the county, shall be organized under
this Act. Not less than 1% of the voters in each county of a group of
not more than 5 adjoining counties each of which has less than 3,000,000
population may jointly petition the circuit court of the county having
the largest population to order the question to be submitted to the
voters of such counties whether a district, the boundaries of which
shall be coextensive with the boundaries of the group of counties taken
as a whole, shall be organized under this Act.

If the proposed district shall embrace more than one county the
petition shall be accompanied by the written approval of the
Environmental Protection Agency.

If the proposed district is coextensive with the boundaries of a
single county it shall be designated by the name of that county.

(b) Not less than 1% of the voters in any township not already
included within a solid waste disposal district may petition the
circuit court of the county in which it is located to order the
question to be submitted to the voters of such township whether
a solid waste disposal district, the boundaries of which shall
be coextensive with the boundaries of the township shall be
organized under this Act.  Not less than 1% of the voters in
each township of a group of not more than 5 adjoining townships,
none of which is already included within a solid waste disposal
district, may jointly petition the circuit court of the county
in which a majority of the voters reside to order the question
to be submitted to the voters of such townships whether a
district, the boundaries of which shall be coextensive with
the boundaries of the group of townships taken as a whole,
shall be organized under this Act.

If the proposed district shall embrace more than one township
the petition shall be accompanied by the written approval of
the Environmental Protection Agency.
