b. Fees for Disposal at Rural Sites: Pursuant to the authority of Government
Code
Section
25823, fees for the disposal of solid waste at landfills and
transfer stations, formerly in a land use assessment area, shall be as
established by the Board of Supervisors following
a
duly noticed public
hearing. The fees so established shall be calculated to recover a fair share
of the estimated costs for these facilities. Cards permitting entrance into
these
landfills and transfer stations shall be offered for sale to residents and
businesses (only in the local areas surrounding these sites as shown on
maps in Exhibit 1) at rates set by
the
Board of Supervisors. No access to
these facilities will be allowed without a card, except
in
cases where
permitted waste haulers or other large commercial users have negotiated
separate contracts with the County. Waste from outside these areas shall not
be accepted at the rural sites providing, however, waste from
unincorporated
areas outside of, but near the borders of these service areas may be
accepted under the same terms and conditions herein set forth, if it is
determined by the General Manager-Chief Engineer of the Department of
Waste Resources that this is the most practical way to provide
disposal
service to these customers. Such rates and the landfills and transfer
stations to which
they
apply shall appear in Appendices B and C to this
Ordinance.
c. Miscellaneous Fees. A schedule of miscellaneous fees is attached as
Appendix D.
Section 8. PROHIBITIONS. No person shall violate any regulation prescribed by the
General Manager-Chief Engineer of the Department of Waste Resources regulating the use of
a County disposal site or transfer station, or fail to obey any sign giving notice of any
regulation, maintained at any such site or facility by the General Manager-Chief Engineer of
the Department of Waste Resources. Violation
of
any such regulation shall be a violation of
this
Ordinance.
Section 9. VIOLATIONS AND PENALTIES. The General Manager-Chief Engineer
of the Department of Waste Resources reserves the right to deny entrance to an individual for
an appropriate time span when said individual is deemed to pose a safety risk and/or is
disruptive to the normal
workflow
of the landfill or transfer station operations. A letter of
notification specifying the dates and location(s)
of
restriction will be mailed to the individual and
be on hand at the gate fee booth(s).
It shall be unlawful for any person to violate any provision of this Ordinance. Any person
violating any provision of this Ordinance may be deemed guilty of an infraction or
misdemeanor as
hereinafter
specified. Such persons shall be deemed guilty of a separate
offense for each day, or portion thereof, during which any violation of any of the provisions of
this Ordinance is committed or continued. Any person so convicted shall be: (1)
guilty
of an
infraction offense and
punished by
a fine not
exceeding
One Hundred dollars ($100.00) for a first
violation;
(2)
guilty
of an infraction offense and punished by a fine not exceeding Two Hundred
dollars ($200.00) for a second violation. The third and any additional violations shall constitute
a misdemeanor offense and shall be punishable by a fine not exceeding Five
Hundred
dollars ($500.00). Notwithstanding the above, a first offense may be charged and
prosecuted as a
misdemeanor.
Payment of
any penalty
herein shall not relieve a person from
the
responsibility
for
correcting
the violation.
