draft # I S <br />09-05-2001 <br />unless the expiration date of the permit is extended by the Department prior to expiration <br />of the RM permit, for good cause shown. The RM permit applies only to the project for <br />which the application was made. The permit shall prescribe the permissible methods of <br />disposal of regulated recyclable material. If the project requires demolition or <br />deconstruction not resulting from condemnation under the North Carolina Building Code, <br />the permit may direct a delay in demolition or deconstruction, not exceeding sixty (60) <br />days from the issuance of the RM permit, in order for the Department to perform an <br />assessment of whether and to what extent the structure to be demolished or deconstructed <br />consists of 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, affirrn or remand the decision of the Department Director to the Department <br />Director based on the minutes of the hearing, 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 />C. A permit shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of issuance. <br />SECTION VII: ENFORCEMENT. <br />The following penalties shall pertain to violations of this ordinance: <br />1. Double Tip Fee. Any person disposing of regulated recyclable material at the Orange County <br />Landfill in violation of this ordinance, in addition to being subject to the other remedies <br />provided in this ordinance, shall pay, for the load or loads disposed of in violation of this <br />ordinance, double the tip fee in effect at the time of the disposal. <br />2. Revocation of regulated recyclable material collection licensees. <br />A. When the Department fmds that a RM licensee has violated a condition of the license, the <br />licensee shall receive written notice of the violation and be informed that if the violation <br />is not corrected or if another viohtion occurs within thirty (30) working days the RM <br />license shall be revoked. Notice of the revocation shall be by written notice from the <br />Department delivered or mailed by first class mail to the licensee. Delivery by first class <br />mail shall be the method of delivery if the licensee cannot readily be served with the <br />notice of revocation in person. Upon receipt of the revocation notice, the RM licensee <br />shall stop collecting, transporting, or disposing of regulated recyclable material <br />originating in Orange County. <br />B.
