Orange County(Chapel Hill Carrboro Public School System and the Orange County Public School System) may work with Contractor under the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the management of hazardous wastes. If County acts as an intermediary between any Local Government and/or Public School System and Contractor, this action shall not in any way be deemed to cause County to take title to or become a generator of hazardous wastes generated by these entities without express written approval of County. Hazardous wastes that are generated by Local Governments and Public School Systems shall be manifested and billed separately to the agency or organization requesting the hazardous waste management service. Whenever possible, hazardous wastes from these entities will be accepted under the CESQG program described in subsection f above. Wastes from these entities may be delivered by said entities to Contractor by appointment at the County HHW facility provided that the entity is a conditionally exempt small quantity generator as defined under 40 CFR 261.5. If wastes are brought to County's HHW facility by Local Governments and/or Public School Systems, it will be the sole responsibility of the generator to ensure that wastes will be transported in a legal and safe manner. As an alternative to having the generator deliver the waste to the County's facility, with Contractor's approval, wastes may be picked up by Contractor at the generator's location(s). If wastes are collected by Contractor at a location other than County's HHW facility, Contractor may charge the generator for collection. h) Unacceptable and Nonconforming Wastes: Unacceptable wastes shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the facility permit Y ermit as issued b the State of North Carolina.

Waste accepted at County's HHW facility shall be considered nonconforming if it fails to meet the waste description applicable thereto in any material respect. In the event the waste is discovered to be nonconforming at any time within thirty(30) days of the time said waste was accepted by the Contractor, the Contractor may revoke its acceptance of the waste. The revocation of acceptance shall be effective immediately upon receipt of written notice to the County or its agents, if any such agent has been duly authorized by the County in writing. The County shall have seven (7) days to direct an alternative lawful manner of disposition of the nonconforming waste, unless it is necessary by reason of applicable federal, state, or local laws, regulations, orders, permits, ordinances or requirements (collectively law) or by reason of the Contractor facility permit or operating procedure to move the nonconforming waste in less than seven days. If the County does not direct an alternative lawful manner of disposition within said seven days or, if required, within a shorter period, the Contractor shall return the nonconforming waste to the County.
