§ 31-64. Diversion requirement exemption.

a.

Application. If an applicant for a project experiences unique circumstances that the applicant believes make it infeasible to comply with established diversion requirements, the applicant may request, in writing, an exemption from one (1) or all of the waste diversion requirements during the building permit process.

b.

Meeting with Solid Waste Manager. The Solid Waste Manager, or his or her designee, shall review all exemption request information supplied by the applicant and may meet with the applicant to assess alternative ways of meeting waste diversion requirements. The Solid Waste Manager, or his or her designee, may request that staff from the County Department of Development Services attend this meeting or may require the applicant to request a separate meeting with Department of Development Services staff. Based on the information supplied by the applicant and, in consideration of information that may be provided by the Department of Development Services, the Solid Waste Manager, or his or her designee, shall determine whether it is possible for the applicant to meet any or all of the diversion requirements of the project.

c.

Granting of Exemption. If it is determined that it is infeasible for the applicant to meet all of the diversion requirements specified in this article, the Solid Waste Manager, or their designee, shall determine alternate permit conditions and will inform the applicant, in writing, of any such alternative requirements.
