10 <br />SECTION VI. PERMITS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF REGULATED <br />RECYCLABLE MATERIALS. <br />Any person applying for a building permit and/or a zoning compliance permit from any unit <br />of local government in Orange County authorized to issue such permits, shall, prior to <br />applying for such permits and before construction, demolition, land clearing or other <br />preparatory activity commences, make application to the Department for a regulated <br />recyclable material management permit (RM permit) for the management of regulated <br />recyclable material. <br />2. The RM permit application shall provide estimates of the amount and types of solid waste to <br />be generated by the project, the amount and types of regulated recyclable material to be <br />generated by the project, whether the project requires demolition or deconstruction and the <br />methods to be employed for disposal of the solid waste and regulated recyclable material <br />generated by the project. <br />3. Applications for a RM permit shall be fled with the Department on forms fumished by <br />Orange County. All applications must be accompanied by a processing fee. The amount of <br />the fee will be set by the Board annually with the adoption by the Board of the annual budget <br />ordinance of Orange County. <br />4. The Department will review and, within ten (10) days, make a decision on the RM permit., <br />The applicant will then be notified of the Department's decision within two (2) working days <br />after the decision is made. <br />A. If the RM permit application meets the requirements of this ordinance, a RM permit will <br />be issued to the applicant. The RM permit applies only to the project for which the <br />application was made. The permit shall prescribe the permissible methods of disposal of <br />regulated recyclable material. If the project requires demolition or deconstruction not <br />resulting from condemnation under the North Carolina Building Code, the permit may <br />direct a delay in demolition or deconstruction, not exceeding sixty (60) days from the <br />issuance of the RM permit, in order for the Department to perform an assessment of <br />whether and to what extent the structure to be demolished or deconstructed consists of <br />regulated recyclable materials that can be reasonably recycled. <br />B. If the RM permit application does not meet the requirements of this ordinance, the <br />notification of denial shall state the reasons that the application was denied. If the <br />Department denies a RM permit, the applicant may request a hearing with the <br />Department Director. The Department Director shall keep minutes of the hearing, <br />including all documents that are part of the application and all documents submitted at <br />the hearing. Within one week after the hearing the Department Director shall give the <br />applicant written notice of the decision either granting the permit or affirming the denial <br />of the permit. The applicant may appeal the Department Director's decision to the Orange <br />County Manager by giving written notice of appeal to the County Manager within five <br />(5) working days of receipt of the Department Director's decision. The Manager shall <br />reverse, affirm or remand the decision of the Department Director to the Department <br />Director based on the minutes of the heating, including all documents that are part of the <br />minutes. If the decision of the Orange County Manager is to reverse the decision of the <br />Department Director, the permit is deemed issued. If the Orange County Manager <br />remands to the Department Director, the remand decision shall direct the matters to be <br />reconsidered by the Department Director on remand. <br />
