(1) When falsified information is submitted to Department in a permit application, report(s) or correspondence;
(2) When false information is submitted to Department on a material question;
(3) When Federal, State or local laws or regulations pertaining to solid waste handling are violated;
(4) When the holder of the Class A Permit or applicant for a Class A Permit is in arrears or not current with the charges or fees due for use of any county-maintained solid waste facility used for refuse hauler operations, unless waived by the Waste System Division; or
(5) When any violation of conditions to operate exists pertaining to the conditional use permit or special use permit.
(b) Upon determining cause for the denial, denial of renewal, revocation or suspension of a Class A Permit, Department shall give written notice to the applicant or Class A Permit holder to show cause why the Class A Permit should not be denied, revoked, suspended or its renewal denied and conduct a hearing if requested in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 2 of Division 3 of Title 3 of the San Bernardino County Code, beginning with § 33.0200. The Hearing Officer shall then recommend to the Board of Supervisors whether the permit should be renewed, revoked, suspended or denied.

The decision of the Board shall be final.

The Initiating Department shall be responsible for the presentation of the facts of the case involved in the requested action.
(d) A person or entity whose Class A Permit has been denied, revoked or had its renewal denied pursuant to this Section shall not be considered by the Board of Supervisors for a Class A Permit until one year from the date of such denial, denial of renewal or revocation.
