Section 272.245 - Submission of implementing documents

(a) Within 1 year following approval of a plan by the Department, the county shall submit to the Department copies of executed ordinances, contracts or other requirements to implement its approved plan and that will be used to ensure sufficient available capacity to properly dispose or process municipal waste that is expected to be generated within the county for the next 10 years.

(b) The ordinances, contracts or other requirements shall be the same in form and content as those submitted under § 272.231 (relating to implementing documents), except that the documents submitted under this section shall be executed, enacted or otherwise in full force and effect.

(c) Within 30 days after receipt, the Department will notify the county in writing if the documents do not adequately implement the approval plan. After the expiration of the 30-day review period, the Department will not issue a municipal waste landfill or resource recovery facility permit under the act unless the facility meets the requirements of § 271.201 (relating to criteria for permit issuance or denial). This subsection does not affect the Department's ability to issue or deny permits under § 271.201.
