Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 24, May 15, 2024

Rule 567-101.4 - Duties of cities and counties

Every city and county of this state shall, for the solid waste generated within the jurisdiction of its political subdivision, provide for the establishment and operation of an integrated solid waste management system consistent with the waste management hierarchy under Iowa Code section 455B.301A and designed to meet the state's waste reduction and recycling goals. Integrated systems and municipal solid waste sanitary disposal projects may be established separately or through cooperative efforts, including Iowa Code chapter 28E agreements as provided by law.

(1) To meet these responsibilities, cities and counties may execute, with public and private agencies, contracts, leases, or other necessary instruments, purchase land and do all things necessary not prohibited by law for the implementation of waste management programs, collection of solid waste, establishment and operation of municipal solid waste sanitary disposal projects, and general administration of the same.

(2) If a planning agency refuses any particular solid waste type for management or disposal, the planning agency must identify another municipal solid waste sanitary disposal project for that waste within the planning area. If no other municipal solid waste sanitary disposal project exists within the planning area, the planning agency must, in cooperation with the waste generator, establish or arrange for access to another municipal solid waste sanitary disposal project. Municipal solid waste sanitary disposal projects are required to maintain written approval from both the department and the planning agency in the planning area of origin in order to accept any Iowa-generated waste from outside the planning area.

(3) All cities and counties or Iowa Code chapter 28E agencies established for the purpose of managing solid waste or implementing integrated solid waste management systems, or both, on behalf of cities and counties shall demonstrate compliance with the provisions of this chapter by their participation in a comprehensive plan approved by the department.
