<br />
<br />1987 Legislation

<br />
<br />115A.919. County fee authority
<br /> A county may impose a fee, by cubic yard of waste or its equivalent, on operators of
<br />facilities for the disposal of mixed municipal solid waste located within the county. The
<br />revenue from the fees shall be credited to the county general fund and shall be used only
<br />for landfill abatement purposes, or costs of closure, postclosure care, and response
<br />actions or for purposes of mitigating and compensating for the local risks, costs, and
<br />other adverse effects of facilities.
<br /> Waste residue from energy and resource recovery facilities at which solid waste is
<br />processed for the purpose of extracting, reducing, converting to energy, or otherwise
<br />separating and preparing solid waste for reuse shall be exempt from one-half the amount
<br />of the fee imposed by a county under this section if there is at least an 85 percent volume
<br />reduction in the solid waste processed. Before any fee is reduced, the verification
<br />procedures of section 473.843, subdivision 1, paragraph (c), must be followed and sub-
<br />mitted to the appropriate county.

<br />town general fund. Revenue produced by 25 cents of the fee must be used only for
<br />purposes of landfill abatement or for purposes of mitigating and compensating for the
<br />local risks, costs, and other adverse effects of facilities. Revenue produced by ten cents
<br />of the fee may be used for any general fund purpose. Waste residue from energy and
<br />resource recovery facilities at which solid waste is processed for the purpose of extract-
<br />ing, reducing, converting to energy, or otherwise separating and preparing solid waste for
<br />reuse shall be exempt from one-half the amount of the fee imposed by a city or town
<br />under this section if there is at least an 85 percent volume reduction in the solid waste
<br />processed. Before any fee is reduced, the verification procedures of section 473.843,
<br />subdivision 1, paragraph (c), must be followed and submitted to the appropriate city or
<br />town.
