§ 8.12.731. Flow control.  


Latest version.
  • The franchise agreement shall include a provision that the county may at any time require the franchisee to dispose of solid waste, which has been collected pursuant to a franchise agreement, at a facility for processing, transferring, burning, or otherwise disposing of solid waste. In the instance that the county directs any such disposal of solid waste, the county shall not claim ownership of the solid waste, and shall only direct any such disposal if a quality control program exists at the processing, transferring, burning or other facility to ensure that any hazardous waste or medical waste, which may be contained with the solid waste, is properly segregated and disposed in compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations. The franchise agreement shall also provide that in the event the county exercises flow control, the franchisee may request a rate increase to offset additional costs incurred in disposing of solid waste at a facility other than the facility anticipated by the parties at the time of the county's approval of the franchise agreement.
