3-8-100 Creation and location

(Ordinance 350) The Solid Waste (SW) zone is a zoning district where industries that treat, store and dispose of solid waste shall be located. SW zoning districts shall be created under Chapter 3-8 of the Box Elder County Land Use Management & Development Code and shall only be located in the county designated Solid Waste corridors. The Solid Waste Corridor includes existing permitted solid waste facilities that received final approval for an operating permit or received a renewal of an existing permit after March 21, 1995, from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality. The Solid Waste Corridor also includes areas designated, by the County, for lateral expansion of these facilities if they meet the requirements of R315-302, R315-303, R315-308, and R315-310. These areas are included in the Solid Waste Corridor without regard to the Solid Waste Corridor siting restrictions. Through a General Plan Amendment application process other areas may be considered for the Solid Waste Corridor. Box Elder County will obtain a third party review from a Registered Professional Civil/Environmental Engineer holding a registration from the State of Utah. An engineering report, including stability analysis report, will be generated and submitted to the Box Elder County Plan and Zoning Commission as part of the application review. Each area to be added must be reviewed by the Box Elder County Planning and Zoning Commission for compliance with the Solid Waste Corridor siting requirements. Then the application must be approved by Box Elder County Commission before it will be included in the Solid Waste Corridor. All costs associated with the application, review, consultants, and updating the Solid Waste Corridor is the sole responsibility of the Applicant. The Applicant must deposit $10,000 with Box Elder County to begin the application process. If additional funds are required, it is the Applicant’s responsibility to insure Box Elder County receives the necessary funds within 15 days of notice. Any fund balance will be returned to the Applicant after the approval or disapproval or the Solid Waste Corridor Update.
