Commissioners Hearing Room, Courthouse, Ephrata, WA to consider a proposed Ordinance amending Ch. 8.28.190 of the Grant County Code titled Solid Waste Disposal - Unsecured Load Fee. This hearing was originally scheduled for June 14, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. but due to a clerical error, the hearing was continued to July 11, 2011. The changes proposed are as follows:

8.28.190 Solid Waste Disposal - Unsecured Load Fee

"Unsecured load" means a shipment of solid waste in or on a vehicle that is not covered with a tarp, inside an enclosed vehicle or otherwise secured or tied down by safety chains or other fastening devices in a manner that will prevent materials from spilling, escaping, falling or being blown or deposited outside the vehicle while the vehicle is in motion. For purposes of this definition, solid waste contained in trash bags that are not covered with a tarp, inside an enclosed vehicle or otherwise secured or tied down is an unsecured load.

(1) Pursuant to RCW 70.93.097, a fee shall be charged to all vehicles with unsecured loads arriving at a dropbox or landfill maintained and operated within Grant County.

The operator of the vehicle containing the unsecured load, unless otherwise exempted as set forth below and pursuant to RCW 46.61.655, shall be required to pay a fee. The proposed unsecured load fee is:

Passenger licensed vehicles 1-3 yards capacity $5.00

Trucks and other vehicles over 3 yard capacity $15.00

(2) A vehicle transporting sand, dirt or gravel in compliance with the provisions of RCW 46.61.655 shall not be required to secure or cover a load pursuant to this section.

(3) The fee collected under subsection (1) of this section shall be deposited, no less than quarterly, in an identifiable account with the Solid Waste operating fund.

Any interested persons may appear regarding these matters.
