Prior to issuance of a permit to collect, transport, dispose of, store, or process solid waste generated within the county, an application must be completed and submitted with the permit fee to the local, state, or federal agency which oversees said waste.
(Ord. KOC 24-830-409, passed 5-21-2024)
If the application shows that the applicant will collect, transport, store, and/or process solid waste without hazard to the public health or damage to the environment and in compliance with the laws of the federal government, the State of Kentucky, the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, and this chapter, the local, state, or federal agency which oversees said waste may issue the appropriate permit. If modifications are necessary to the application regarding service, equipment, reporting of activity, or mode of operation so as to bring the application into compliance, the local, state, or federal agency which oversees said waste shall notify the applicant in writing, setting forth the modification to be made and the time in which it shall be done.
(Ord. KOC 24-830-409, passed 5-21-2024)
If the applicant does not make the modifications pursuant to the notice in § 50.132 within the time limit specified therein or if the application does not clearly show that the collection, transportation, storage, or processing of solid waste will not create a public health hazard or be without harmful effects on the environment, the permit application shall be denied in writing, stating the reason for such denial. Nothing in this section shall prejudice the right of the applicant to reapply after the rejection of his or her application, provided that all aspects of the reapplication comply with the provisions of this chapter. Nothing in this section shall prevent the denial of a permit should the total number of annual permits as determined within the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance have already been issued.

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.
