The Addison County Solid Waste Management District Board of Supervisors adopted, as part of its 2010 Annual Budget, a decreased District Fee of $10.00/ton on contaminated soils approved by the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources for use as Alternative Daily Cover at a landfill. The District Policies of the Board of Supervisors Implementing the District Waste Management Ordinance (“Policies”) was amended to reflect the decreased District Fee. The amended language reads as follows:

“4.2 District Fee

The District Fee, as defined by Article 6.2 of the Ordinance, shall be $33.40/ton. The District Fee, as defined by Article 6.2 of the Ordinance, shall be $10.00/ton for contaminated soils approved by the VT Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) for use as Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) at a landfill, contingent upon the District receiving: (a) a copy of the summary of analytical test results of the soils measured against the VT State guidelines for approving soils as ADC; and (b) a copy of all written communications from ANR regarding the suitability of the soils for use as ADC.”

The District also adopted an increased annual Licensing Fee of $20, which amendment is included in the Policies:

“5. Licensing Fee

Pursuant to Article IV, “Licensing”, of the Ordinance, any Commercial Hauler, Processor, Transfer/Disposal Facility or Scale, unless exempt by the Ordinance, shall apply to the District Manager for a License. The application and subsequent annual renewals of the License shall be accompanied by a Twenty-dollar ($20.00) fee.”
