INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT
In order to ensure compliance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, this chapter, and the rules and regulations authorized herein, the Solid Waste Coordinator is authorized to inspect all phases of management, processing, or disposal of solid waste at a solid waste site or facility within the county, whether or not the site or facility is permitted by the state or the county. No inspection shall be made in any residential unit unless authorized by the occupant or by due process of law. In all instances where such inspections reveal a violation of this chapter or any conditions of issued permits, enforcement action will be initiated.
(Ord. KOC 24-830-409, passed 5-21-2024)
In all cases, violations are brought to the appropriate Code Enforcement Board unless corrective measures have been taken within the time specified by the code enforcement officer. However, in those cases where an extension of time will allow for correction and there is no public health hazard created by the delay, one extension of time not to exceed the original time period may be given.
(Ord. KOC 24-830-409, passed 5-21-2024)
Notwithstanding any other provision for enforcement of this chapter, civil enforcement of any provision of this chapter may be undertaken before the Code Enforcement Board pursuant to regulations, procedures, and penalties established by said Board. Civil procedures and criminal procedures for any one violation of this chapter shall be mutually exclusive.
(Ord. KOC 24-830-409, passed 5-21-2024)
In the event a permit is revoked and the person continues to operate, the Coordinator may request the Fiscal Court take action in a court of law to enjoin the acts and to enforce compliance with this chapter or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder.
