A sanitary landfill provides a means of solid waste disposal. It is operated and designed to minimize potential contamination of waters and the environment, thereby protecting the public health and safety. Decisions regarding matters influencing operation shall be based upon State and Federal law, public health practices and civil engineering principles.
(Ord. 1343. Passed 5-28-96.)
(a) Council, or the solid waste agency of which the City is a member, shall, by ordinance or resolution, designate a place or places, public or private, for the operation of a sanitary landfill to be used for the disposal of solid waste and other offensive or obnoxious substances.
(b) No person shall dump, deposit or otherwise dispose of any solid waste, hazardous waste, building rubbish, demolition debris, commercial or industrial waste, infectious waste or offensive or obnoxious substances within the corporate limits of the City upon any ground, premises or place other than a landfill or disposal facility licensed by the State of Nebraska or other State regulatory authority for the disposal of specific waste.
(Ord. 1343. Passed 5-28-96.)
No person shall set a fire upon, or cause a fire to be set upon, any sanitary landfill heretofore or hereafter designated as such under the provisions of this chapter, unless specifically directed by the Solid Waste Department Superintendent. The Superintendent shall acquire a burn permit from the Fire Chief and burn only those materials allowed by the NDEQ Air Quality Division.
(Ord. 1343. Passed 5-28-96.)
(a) No person shall dump any solid waste at any public sanitary landfill, except during designated hours. The superintendent in charge of said landfill shall determine the place or places where specific categories of solid waste brought to the landfill shall be placed. Such superintendent may require persons bringing solid waste to said landfill for disposal to separate such solid waste according to kinds or classes of material, and to deposit such different kinds or classes of materials in different places on such landfill, and may direct the manner and method of dumping and disposing of such solid waste.
(b) No solid waste, including trees, lumber, metals, concrete, etc., shall be accepted in the landfill if said waste has a maximum dimension in any direction (width, height, breadth) of more than eight feet. This restriction may be waived by the superintendent of the landfill if he or she feels that allowing such materials will not impede the operation of the landfill.
(c) Authorized use of the sanitary landfill is for the citizens of the City of Sidney, the citizens of Cheyenne County and contracted private, governmental or municipal users, under the appropriate fee or permit schedules or contracted rates. No person shall make unauthorized use of the landfill.
(d) No statement contained in this chapter shall be construed as preventing special agreements or arrangements between the City and any party for the disposal of wastes.
(Ord. 1343. Passed 5-28-96.)
