Between January and June, 1983, county site selection <br />authorities in each county must select for acquisition <br />specific disposal sites from the inventory of sites <br />within the county. The site selection authorities must <br />include a representative appointed by the governing <br />body of each city and town within the county containing <br />a site in the disposal site inventory. <br /> <br />4. Disposal Site Acauisition. Counties are required <br />to acquire the seiec~ed sites and may over-ride local <br />restrictions to do so. Local jurisdic%ions may, <br />however, establish reasonable conditions respecting the <br />construction and operation of disposal facilities at <br />the sites, subject to Council approval. <br /> <br />Sites scheduled to open through 1990 are to be acquired <br />in fee. Development rights are to be acquired for <br />sites scheduled to open after 1990 through 2000. <br />Development rights in buffer areas are also to be <br />acquired. <br /> <br />The Council will provide acquisition grants to <br />counties, using proceeds from up to $15 million in <br />metropolitan general obligation bonds. Debt service on <br />the bonds is to be allocated by the Council among <br />cities and towns in a manner favorable to communities <br />that reduce the need for land disposal. Cities and <br />towns containing disposal facilities in operation after <br />January 1, 1980, are exempted forever from payment on <br />the bonds. <br /> <br />5. Certificate of Need. No new solid waste disposal <br />facilities may be permitted in the metropolitan area <br />without a certificate of need, issued by the Council, <br />showing that no feasible and prudent alternatives are <br />available. <br /> <br />C. Resource Recovery Facilities [Sections 12 and 14] <br /> <br />Each county is authorized to over-ride local <br />restrictions to establish a resource recovery facility <br />within the county, if the Council. approves of the <br />facility. A review and hearing procedure is <br />established to govern the Council's consideration of <br />each county request for permission to over-rule local <br />objections. <br /> <br />Beginning in July of 1982, the Council will have <br />authority to require that solid waste generated within <br />the metropolitan area be delivered to a designated <br />resource recovery facility. WMB approval is not <br />required. In designating facilities (controlling waste <br />flow), the Council must follow the same notification <br />and negotiation procedures applicable to waste <br />districts and nonmetropolitan counties under Articles <br />VIII and IX. <br /> <br /> <br />
