  • (a)

    The applicant for a license for a new or existing recycling facility or solid waste acceptance facility or disposal system or for an extension or alteration of such existing facilities or disposal system shall submit complete plats drawn to scale showing the location of the area and specifications of the proposed method of operation to the Department of the Environment.

    (b)

    The applicant, in the case of a sanitary landfill operation, shall also submit a completion maintenance bond, cash or other security to warrant that the proposed fill will be maintained for a period of at least twelve (12) months following completion. The amount of this bond required shall be sufficient to cover cost of repair and maintenance and completion of a landfill during the licensed period.

    (c)

    Applications shall be reviewed by representatives of the Department of the Environment and the Health Department. Representatives from these Departments shall make inspections of the equipment, disposal site and other facilities and, provided the maintenance bond or other security is in order and if the Department of the Environment determines the engineering of the proposed system to be satisfactory and the Health Department finds the proposed system to be safe, sanitary and satisfactory, a refuse disposal license shall be issued by the Department of the Environment.

    (d)

    No license for a new recycling facility or solid waste acceptance facility or an extension of such existing facilities shall be issued by the Department of the Environment if the issuance of the license will, in the opinion of the Director of the Department of the Environment, violate any restriction on the issuance of licenses for solid waste acceptance facilities or recycling facilities contained in any trust agreement or solid waste or recycling contract entered into by the County pursuant to Section 21-137.04 or 21-137.06.
