§ 302. Sanitary landfill permit required.

A.

It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a sanitary landfill unless that person possesses a valid sanitary landfill permit from the City.

B.

No permit shall be issued until the applicant has published the fact that he has made application for a sanitary landfill site in a manner reasonably calculated to inform that portion of the public which is most likely to be affected by the operation of the proposed landfill, provided, however, that this requirement is not necessary for permit renewals. At a minimum, publication shall be made at least once by advertisement in a daily or weekly newspaper of general circulation in the locality where the proposed site is to be located. The contents of the public notice of an application for a sanitary landfill shall include the following:

1.

The name and address of the applicant;

2.

A brief description of the activity for which the permit is being sought;

3.

A description of the proposed location;

4.

The name and address of the Health Department; and

5.

The statement, "Any person who may be aggrieved by the issuance of a permit for this proposed landfill may file with the Health Department a verified petition which sets forth the grounds whereby he may be injured and requests that a hearing be held."

C.

No permit shall be issued until at least thirty (30) days have expired following publication of the notice of application. The applicant for a permit must establish the date of publication by a verified affidavit from the newspaper which published the notice. If a hearing is held, no permit shall be issued prior to that hearing.

D.

The permittee shall submit a written request to the Health Department for approval of changes to the original plans, specifications, reports and method of operation submitted with the original engineering report. No such change shall be initiated until the written approval of the Director has been obtained.
