(B) (1) A public hearing before the Board is required prior to the issuance of a license for a solid waste facility, and that proceeding is governed hereby.
(2) Notice of the time, place and proposed project shall be given by publication in the official newspaper of the county at least ten days before the hearing. Written notice shall be sent to property owners of record within ¼-mile of the project site, or to the ten properties nearest to the project site, whichever would provide notice to the greatest number of property owners.
(3) Written notice shall also be given to the board of town supervisors where the site is located, and the council of any municipality and/or town of supervisors of another township within two miles of the proposed project site.
