A city <br />or town may impose a fee, not to exceed $1 per cubic yard of <br />waste, or its equivalent, on operators of facilities for the <br />disposal of mixed municipal solid waste located within the city <br />or town. The revenue from the fees must be credited to the city <br />or town general fund. Revenue produced by 25 cents of the fee <br />must be used only for purposes of landfill abatement or for <br />purposes of mitigating and compensating for the local risks, <br />costs, and other adverse effects of facilities. Revenue <br />produced by the balance of the fee may be used for any general <br />fund purpose. <br /> <br />Waste residue from recycling facilities at which recyclable <br />materials are separated or processed for the purpose of <br />recycling, or from energy and resource recovery facilities at <br />which solid waste is processed for the purpose of extracting, <br />reducing, converting to energy, or otherwise separating and <br />preparing solid waste for reuse shall be exempt from the fee <br />imposed by a city or town under this section if there is at <br />least an 85 percent weight reduction in the solid waste <br />processed. Before any fee is reduced, the verification <br />procedures of section ~.:?':~'~n~.~')' subdivision 1, paragraph (c), <br />must be followed and submitted to the appropriate city or town, <br />except that for facilities operating outside of the metropolitan <br />area the commissioner shall prescribe procedures for verifying <br />the required 85 percent weight reduction. <br /> <br />Subd. 2. Construction debris. (a) A city or town may <br />impose a fee, not to exceed 50 cents per cubic yard of waste, or <br />its equivalent, on operators of facilities for the disposal of <br />construction debris located within the city or town. The <br />revenue from the fees must be credited to the city or town <br />general fund. Two-thirds of the revenue must be used only for <br />purposes of landfill abatement or for purposes of mitigating and <br />compensating for the local risks, costs, and other adverse <br />effects resulting from the facilities. <br /> <br />(b) A facility permitted for the disposal of construction <br />debris is exempt from 25 percent of a fee imposed under this <br />subdivision if the facility has implemented a recycling program <br />that has been approved by the county and 25 percent if the <br />facility contains a liner and leachate collection system <br />approved by the agency. <br /> <br />(c) Two-thirds of the revenue from fees collected under <br />this subdivision must offset any financial assurances required <br />by the city or town for a construction debris facility. <br /> <br />(d) The maximum revenue that may be collected under this <br />subdivision must be determined by multiplying the total <br />permitted capacity ~f a facility by 15 cents per cubic yard. <br />Once the maximum revenue has been collected for a facility, the <br />fees in this subdivision may no longer be imposed. <br /> <br />HIST: 1984 c 644 s 47; 1987 c 348 s 26; 1988 c 685 s 20; 1989 <br />c 325 s 19; 1991 c 337 s 38; 1994 c 585 s 23; 1995 c 247 art 1 s <br /> <br />htto' //wwwrevisor.lell.state.mn.us/stats/115AJ921.html <br /> <br />1/12/2006 <br />
