Section 3734.571. Disposal fees where district has no facilities

If no solid waste disposal facilities are located within a county or joint solid waste management district that has entered into, or proposes to enter into, an agreement with another county or joint solid waste management district under section 343.02 of the Revised Code for the joint use of solid waste facilities, the latter district may levy fees under division (B)(2) of section 3734.57 of the Revised Code on the disposal of solid wastes at solid waste disposal facilities within its boundaries that were generated within the former district. Such a district may levy those fees regardless of whether it is levying fees under division (B) of section 3734.57 of the Revised Code pursuant to that division or division (A) or (D) of section 3734.574 of the Revised Code. Moneys so collected that equal the difference between the fees that the receiving district otherwise would have levied on the disposal of those wastes under division (B)(1) of section 3734.57 of the Revised Code and the fees that it levies on the disposal of those wastes under division (B)(2) of that section shall be used by the generating district for the purposes specified in divisions (G)(1) and (2) of that section.

The agreement between the districts for the joint use of solid waste facilities shall provide or shall be amended to provide for all of the following, without limitation:

(A) Responsibility for monitoring the amount of solid wastes disposed of in the receiving district that were generated in the district without disposal facilities;

(B) Levying and collection of the fees authorized under this section in accordance with section 3734.57 of the Revised Code;

(C) A schedule for the remission to the generating district of the portion of the disposal fees that are due it under this section;

(D) Interest to be paid by the receiving district to the generating district if the former fails to remit the disposal fees in accordance with the schedule required under division (B) of this section;

(E) Periodic review of the amount of moneys collected in accordance with this section and the provisions of the agreement required under this section to determine their adequacy.
