San Rafael Municipal Code Ch. 9.23 Regulatory Fees for Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator Waste…

This chapter shall be known as the "City of San Rafael Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator Waste Regulatory Fees Ordinance" and may be so cited.

(Ord. 1696 § 2 (part), 1996).

The purpose of this chapter is to ensure the future health, safety and general welfare of the city by establishing a funding source to pay for the operating expenses of the city's conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste collection facility for receipt and disposition of so-called conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste generated and brought to the facility by commercial sources.

By establishing fees to fund the city's conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste collection facility, the intent of this chapter is to regulate the illegal and improper disposition and disposition of conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste generated by commercial sources located within the city or in neighboring areas that could impact the city.

(Ord. 1696 § 2 (part), 1996).

Every person, corporation or other entity which generates conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste, who brings such waste to the city's conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste collection facility, shall pay a regulatory fee to the city, or to the city's contractor operating such facility. The rates for such fees shall be established periodically by city council resolution, to cover the operating expenses of such facility and any city staff and overhead expenses attributable to such facility. In calculating such regulatory fee, the city may apportion the approved budget for operating expenses according to the anticipated number of deliveries, the type and quantity of such waste, and other relevant criteria.

(Ord. 1696 § 2 (part), 1996).

Conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste will be accepted at the city's facility only from businesses that qualify as conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste sources which are located within the city, or which are located within jurisdictions having contracts with the city providing for payment of the city's related administration expenses to the extent not covered by the regulatory fee, and indemnification of the city with respect to the collection and disposition of such waste.

As a condition of receiving conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste, the city, or the city's contractor operating the facility, shall require the individuals delivering such waste to the facility to provide adequate proof and certification as to the nature and origin of the waste which qualifies such waste for acceptance by the facility, to execute any appropriate releases and indemnifications, and to pay the required regulatory fee.

(Ord. 1696 § 2 (part), 1996).

It is unlawful for any person to falsify the nature or the origin of waste delivered to the city's conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste collection facility. Any person violating this chapter shall be subject to the penalty for violations, as provided in San Rafael Municipal Code Section 1.42.010.
