(A) From time to time, certain solid waste may arrive at the landfill site that, in the opinion and judgment of the operators of the site, would be hazardous or detrimental to personnel or operators. The operators may delay the unloading of these wastes until the Director of Health, or his or her representative, has the opportunity to review the situation and decide upon the disposition of the waste. With regard to the decision upon the disposition, appeal may be made by the hauler to the County Manager, whose decision shall be final and not subject to appeal.
(B) In order to properly operate the landfill site, the duly authorized landfill operators of necessity must exercise discretion as to where certain types of solid wastes are unloaded. Persons delivering wastes to the landfill site shall be required to discharge the wastes at locations as directed by the operator. This provision shall under no circumstances empower landfill site operators to require that drivers make or attempt maneuvers that would abuse or injure equipment or that would jeopardize the safety of the driver or equipment.
(C) No solid waste from outside the county shall be accepted at the landfill site or at recycling and convenience sites.
(D) Penalty. Any violation of this section shall be punishable as a Class 3 misdemeanor, and any person convicted of the violation shall be subject to punishment as provided in G.S. § 14-4. Each day a violation continues shall be deemed a separate offense, and shall be subject to monetary fines and injunctive relief as provided in § 52.99 herein.
