Prior to commencing demolition or construction, an applicant may request a partial or complete exception from the requirements of this chapter through the following process:
A. Initiation. This exception process shall be initiated by filing a completed exception application with the Waste Management Plan Compliance Official. The Waste Management Plan Compliance Official shall determine the completeness of the exception application within five (5) business days of filing.
B. Decision on application. The Waste Management Plan Compliance Official shall either make all of the required findings and grant a partial or complete exception, or state in writing why all of the findings cannot be made and deny the application. A decision on the application shall be rendered within ten (10) business days following determination that the application is complete.
C. Findings. All of the following findings must be made prior to the approval of an exception:
1. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the project that does not apply generally to similar projects;
2. Granting the application will not constitute a grant of a special privilege inconsistent with limitations imposed on like projects; and
