A.
Material from buildings which are being taken down, constructed or
renovated shall be disposed of at the City's solid waste disposal
facility except as provided in this section. Prior to delivery to
the facility, materials shall be separated so that wood materials
and metal materials are not mixed in with other debris such as roofing,
insulation, plaster, sheetrock, plastics, concrete, mortar, cured
concrete, bricks and other items. Materials shall be disposed of at
the City's solid waste facility in accordance with the Hatch Hill
Facility General Rules for the Disposal of Solid Waste unless the
owner or the agent of the owner has received written approval from
the Department of Public Works to dispose of the material in another
location. Such approval must state the exact location and how the
material will be disposed of. All work shall be in conformance with
Department of Public Works administrative rules and performance standards.
The purpose of these rules and standards shall be to protect abutting
property, the environment, and to control dust, noise and nuisances
associated with the handling of all demolition debris. These shall
be available at the Office of the Director of Public Works.
B.
Upon written approval of the Department of Public Works, material
that can be classified as inert fill, which is defined as clean soil
material, rocks, bricks and cured concrete, that is not mixed with
other solid or liquid waste and that is not derived from an ore mining
activity may be disposed of at a fill site. The area where the material
is to be disposed of must be an approved fill site and shall comply
with all applicable state and local rules and regulations and any
special conditions which may be established for that site.
The permanent storage or disposal of either or both high-level
and low-level radioactive waste, as defined in 38 M.R.S.A. § 1451,
within the boundaries of the City is prohibited.
