If basing the fee on tonnage, the owner or operator shall use certified scales to determine the tonnage of construction and demolition debris that is disposed of. (3) The owner or operator of a construction and demolition debris facility or a solid waste facility shall calculate the amount of money generated from the fee levied under division (A)(1) of this section and shall hold that amount as a trustee for the health district having jurisdiction over the facility, if that district is on the approved list under section 3714.09 of the Revised Code, or for the state. The owner or operator shall prepare and file with the appropriate board of health or the director of environmental protection monthly returns indicating the total volume or weight, as applicable, of construction and demolition debris and asbestos or asbestos-containing materials or products disposed of at the facility and the total amount of money generated during that month from the fee levied under division (A)(1) of this section on the disposal of construction and demolition debris and asbestos or asbestos-containing materials or products. Not later than thirty days after the last day of the month to which the return applies, the owner or operator shall mail to the board of health or the director the return for that month together with the amount of money calculated under division (A)(3) of this section on the disposal of construction and demolition debris and asbestos or asbestos-containing materials or products during that month or may submit the return and money electronically in a manner approved by the director.

(B) The board of health of a health district or the director may enter into an agreement with the owner or operator of a construction and demolition debris facility or a solid waste facility for the quarterly payment of money generated from the disposal fee as calculated in division (A)(3) of this section.

Upon doing so, the board of county commissioners shall mail a certified copy of the resolution to the board of health of the health district in which the construction and demolition debris facility or the solid waste facility is located or, if the facility is located in a health district that is not on the approved list under section 3714.09 of the Revised Code, to the director. Upon receipt of the copy of the resolution and not later than forty-five days after receipt of money generated from the fee, the board of health or the director, as applicable, shall transmit to the treasurer of the county that portion of the money generated from the disposal fee by the owner or operator of the facility that is required by the resolution to be paid to that county.

September 28, 1994 Senate Bill 221 - 120th General Assembly (A) As used in this section, "costs of conducting the voluntary action" means the costs incurred for performing a voluntary action that are cost effective and reasonably necessary to protect public health and safety and the environment, including, without limitation, the costs for all of the following: (1) Identifying potential sources of contamination of the property by hazardous substances where a voluntary action is being or was undertaken under this chapter and rules adopted under it; (2) Investigating the nature and extent of contamination of the property by hazardous substances in order to screen and select remedial alternatives; (3) Preparing a remedial plan for the property; (4) Conducting the remedial activities, including, without limitation, the future operation and maintenance costs of any engineering controls installed to contain or control the release of hazardous substances at or from the property; (5) The preparation and submission of a no further action letter by a certified professional in connection with the voluntary action; (6) Any oversight costs paid to the environmental protection agency; (7) Reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other expenses in connection with the action brought under this section. "Costs of conducting the voluntary action" does not include the costs of any work performed at the property to render it suitable for a higher use than its current use or its most recent demonstrable use that is in addition to the work that is cost effective and reasonably necessary to protect public health and safety and the environment. (B) Any person who, at the time when any of the hazardous substances identified and addressed by a voluntary action conducted under this chapter and rules adopted under it were released at or upon the property that is the subject of the voluntary action, was the owner or operator of the property, and any other person who caused or contributed to a release of hazardous substances at or upon the property, is liable to the person who conducted the voluntary action for the costs of conducting the voluntary action. If the person who conducted the voluntary action did not cause or contribute to any release of hazardous substances at or upon the property that were identified and addressed by the voluntary action, he may recover in a civil action the costs of conducting the voluntary action from the owners or operators of the property at the time when those releases occurred and the other persons who caused or contributed to the releases. If the person who conducted the voluntary action caused or contributed to any release of hazardous substances at or upon the property that were identified and addressed by the voluntary action, he may recover in a civil action from the owners and operators of the property when those releases occurred and the other persons who caused or contributed to the releases the costs of conducting the voluntary action that are attributable to the releases that those owners, operators, and others caused or contributed to. If two or more persons are found to have caused or contributed to a release of hazardous substances at or upon the property, the costs of conducting the voluntary action shall be apportioned among each such person on the basis of his respective degree of responsibility for the costs. (C) A civil action authorized by this section shall be commenced in the court of common pleas of the county in which is located the property at which the voluntary action is conducted. The person conducting the voluntary action may commence the civil action at any time after the person has commenced the conduct of the voluntary action. Notwithstanding section 2305.09 of the Revised Code, a civil action shall be commenced under this section within three years after the applicable no further action letter was submitted to the director of environmental protection under section 3746.11 of the Revised Code in connection with the voluntary action. (D) All of the owners and operators of the property when the releases of hazardous substances identified and addressed by the voluntary action occurred, and the other persons who caused or contributed to those releases, shall be joined as defendants in a civil action commenced under this section. The liability of those owners, operators, and others for the costs of conducting the voluntary action shall be based upon their respective degrees of responsibility for the costs. When determining the respective degrees of responsibility for the costs of those owners, operators, and others, the jury or, in a nonjury action, the court may consider the nature and amount of hazardous substances stored, treated, disposed of, used, and released by each person; the length of time that each person owned or operated the property; each person's history of compliance with applicable federal and state environmental laws and rules in the use and operation of the property; and any other factors that the jury or court considers to be appropriate. (E) This section shall allow the filing of claims for recovery of the costs of conducting a voluntary action that identifies and addresses releases of hazardous substances that occurred prior to, on, or after the effective date of this section. (F) The existence of a claim for relief under this section does not preclude persons from allocating the costs of conducting a voluntary action among themselves by contract. Contractual allocations of those costs do not affect the rights, liabilities, or obligations to this state of the parties to the contractual allocation. (G) This section does not create a claim for relief to recover the costs of conducting a voluntary action against any of the following: (1) A person who neither caused nor contributed to in any material respect a release of hazardous substances on, in, or under the property that was identified and addressed by the voluntary action nor who expressly undertook contractual liability for conducting the voluntary action; (2) Notwithstanding a landlord's rights against a tenant, a landlord if the landlord did not know, and could not reasonably have known, of the acts or omissions of a tenant that caused or contributed to, or were likely to have caused or contributed to, a release of a hazardous substance that resulted in the conduct of the voluntary action at the property; (3) This state or a political subdivision of this state if it involuntarily acquires ownership or control of property by virtue of its function as a sovereign through such means as escheat, bankruptcy, tax delinquency, or abandonment; (4) This state or a political subdivision of this state if it voluntarily acquires ownership or control of property through purchase, appropriation in accordance with Chapter 163. of the Revised Code, or other means; (5) An owner or operator or any other person who caused or contributed to a release of petroleum at or upon property that was identified and addressed by a voluntary action for that portion of the costs of conducting a voluntary action arising from the petroleum release. If a petroleum release became mixed with a release of a hazardous substance on or upon the property, the owner or operator or other person who caused or contributed to the release of petroleum is not liable for that increment of the costs of conducting a voluntary action that is attributable to the presence of the petroleum release; (6) A holder who is in compliance with the requirements of section 3746.26 of the Revised Code; (7) A fiduciary or trustee who is in compliance with the requirements of section 3734.27 of the Revised Code. (H) Division (G)(5) of this section does not affect any other liability to which any person described in that division otherwise is subject under state or federal law.

If, upon the issuance of a permit for such a new landfill or for a modification of such a landfill, there is more than one affected community in a county with respect to that landfill, all the affected communities in that county shall be represented in any negotiations under division (C) of this section, any arbitration under division (D) of this section, or any court proceeding under division (E) or (H) of this section by the board of county commissioners of the county in which those affected communities are located. (C) On or after the effective date of this section and not later than fifteen days after a permit for a new publicly owned sanitary landfill or modification of a publicly owned sanitary landfill as provided in division (B) of this section is issued, the environmental protection agency shall deliver written notice of the issuance of the permit to the solid waste management district in which the landfill or proposed landfill is or is to be located. Not later than thirty days after receiving the notice, the solid waste management district shall deliver written notice of the issuance of the permit to each affected community and to the board of county commissioners of each county in which there is more than one affected community. Not later than forty-five days after receiving notification from the solid waste management district, an affected community or a board of county commissioners representing affected communities, as applicable, may deliver to the solid waste management district in which the landfill or proposed landfill is or is to be located a written request to negotiate an agreement to compensate the affected community or communities for any or all of the following expenses that have been or will be incurred by the affected community or communities as a result of the siting, operation, or closure of the landfill: (1) Road improvements and maintenance; (2) Emergency services; (3) Litter prevention and reduction; (4) Collection and analysis of samples from public or private water wells; (5) Enforcement of applicable public health codes; (6) Enforcement of applicable environmental laws.

The affected community or board of county commissioners representing affected communities shall deliver a copy of the request to the solid waste management district in which the affected community or communities are located. If a mutually acceptable agreement is entered into under this division, it may include a provision requiring the agreement to be renegotiated beginning on a specified date, or at intervals, as agreed by the affected community or board of county commissioners representing affected communities, as applicable, and the solid waste management district. (D) If the solid waste management district in which a publicly owned sanitary landfill or proposed publicly owned sanitary landfill as provided in division (B) of this section is or is to be located and an affected community or board of county commissioners representing affected communities fail to reach a mutually acceptable agreement on compensation not later than ninety days after the affected community or board of county commissioners submits a request for compensation to the district under division (C) of this section, not later than thirty days thereafter either party may deliver to the other party a written request for binding arbitration.

The selection of the third arbitrator by the director is not appealable and is not a final action under Chapter 3745. of the Revised Code. An arbitrator chosen by the director shall not be a state employee. Serving as an appointed member of an arbitration team under this section does not constitute holding a public office or position of employment under the laws of this state and does not confer a right to compensation from the environmental protection agency or any other agency of this state. Not later than thirty days after selection of the arbitration team, each party to the arbitration shall deliver to the team a recommendation for compensation of the affected community or communities, as applicable. Not later than sixty days after selection of the arbitration team, the team, by a majority vote, shall approve one of the recommendations submitted by the parties.

The parties shall abide by the arbitration award unless it is appealed under division (E) of this section and one of the parties delivers to the other party a written request to stay the arbitration award pending the appeal. If such a request is delivered, the arbitration award shall be suspended pending the appeal. The arbitration award otherwise shall be enforced, upon petition by either party, by the court of common pleas in the county in which the affected community or communities are located. A party that requests a stay of an arbitration award shall file a copy of the request with the court to which the award has been appealed and deliver a copy of the request to the solid waste management district in which the affected community or communities are located. (E) Within thirty days after the arbitration team renders its decision, either party to the arbitration may appeal the arbitration award to the court of common pleas in the county in which the affected community or communities are located. A party that appeals an arbitration award shall deliver a copy of its notice of appeal to the solid waste management district in which the affected community or communities that are party to the appeal are located. The arbitration award shall be stayed pending appeal if either party requests a stay under division (D) of this section.

If the court finds that the arbitration award is not supported by substantial evidence, the court shall order an award that is equitable to the parties. The court shall deliver a copy of its order to the solid waste management district in which the affected community or communities that are party to the appeal are located. If the affected community or board of county commissioners representing affected communities, as applicable, prevails on appeal and the arbitration award has been stayed pending appeal at the request of the solid waste management district in which the landfill or proposed landfill is or is to be located, the court shall award interest at the rate specified under division (A) of section 1343.03 of the Revised Code, based upon the amount of compensation that would have been payable to the affected community or communities under the arbitration award under division (D) of this section or a judicial order under this division during the time the stay was in effect. (F) A solid waste management district and an affected community or board of county commissioners representing affected communities, as applicable, by mutual consent, may modify an agreement between them entered into under division (C) of this section, an arbitration award rendered under division (D) of this section, or a judicial order rendered under division (E) of this section with respect to compensation of the affected community or communities by the district for impacts described in divisions (C)(1) to (6) of this section. Any modification shall be in writing, and a copy of it shall be delivered to the solid waste management district in which the affected community or communities are located. If the parties agree to modify a judicial order with respect to compensation of the affected community or communities, the affected community or board of county commissioners, as applicable, shall file a copy of the modified agreement with the court that issued the order. (G) The parties to an arbitration under division (D) of this section shall share equally the cost of the arbitration and each shall bear the cost of its own attorney's fees and other expenses related to the arbitration. (H) If a solid waste management district that is subject to an agreement under division (C) of this section, an arbitration award under division (D) of this section, or a judicial order under division (E) of this section is not in compliance with the requirements of the agreement, award, or order, or any modification thereto agreed to under division (F) of this section, any affected community or board of county commissioners representing affected communities, as applicable, may deliver to the district written notice of noncompliance. The notice shall specify the nature of the noncompliance, including, but not limited to, the provisions of the agreement, award, or order, or modification thereto, with which the district is not complying. If the district has not complied with the agreement, award, or order, or modification thereto, not later than thirty days after receiving notice of noncompliance, the affected community or board of county commissioners, as applicable, may deliver a copy of the notice of noncompliance to the court of common pleas in the county where the affected community or communities are located and request the court to hold a hearing to determine if the district is in compliance with the agreement, award, or order, or modification thereto. The affected community or board also shall deliver a copy of the notice and request to the solid waste management district in which the affected community or communities are located. As promptly as reasonably practicable after receiving a notice of noncompliance and a request for a hearing, the court shall hold a hearing to determine if the district is in compliance with the agreement, award, or order, or modification thereto. The district and the affected community or board of county commissioners, as applicable, shall be parties to the hearing. The court shall issue written findings of fact and conclusions of law with respect to the hearing and shall deliver a copy of them to the district, the affected community or board of county commissioners, as applicable, and the solid waste management district in which the affected community or communities are located. If the court determines as a result of the hearing that the district is not in compliance with the agreement, award, or order, or modification thereto, the court shall issue an order directing the district to comply. The court shall deliver a copy of any order issued under this division to the district, the affected community or board of county commissioners, as applicable, and the solid waste management district in which the affected community or communities are located. The party that does not prevail in a hearing under this division shall bear the costs of the hearing and pay reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the prevailing party as a result of the hearing.

October 9, 2021 House Bill 263 - 133rd General Assembly (A)(1) Every applicant for a permit shall file a disclosure statement, on a form developed by the attorney general, with the director of environmental protection and the attorney general at the same time the applicant files an application for the permit with the director.

(F)(1) Every five years, the attorney general shall request from the federal bureau of investigation any information regarding a criminal conviction with respect to each officer, director, partner, or key employee of an applicant, permittee, or prospective owner. The attorney general may take any actions necessary for purposes of this division, including, as necessary, requesting the submission of any necessary documents authorizing the release of information. (2) Every five years, an applicant, permittee, or prospective owner shall submit an affidavit listing all of the following regarding a business concern required to be listed in the applicant's, permittee's, or prospective owner's disclosure statement: (a) Any administrative enforcement order issued to the business concern in connection with any violation of any federal or state environmental protection laws, rules, or regulations during the previous five-year period; (b) Any civil action in which the business concern was determined to be liable or was the subject of injunctive relief or another type of civil relief in connection with any violation of any federal or state environmental protection laws, rules, or regulations during the previous five-year period; (c) Any criminal conviction for a violation of any federal or state environmental protection laws, rules, or regulations that has been committed knowingly or recklessly by the business concern during the previous five-year period. (G) With respect to an applicant, permittee, or prospective owner, the attorney general shall notify the director of environmental protection of any crime ascertained under division (E) or (F) of this section that is a disqualifying offense under section 9.79 of the Revised Code. The attorney general shall provide the notification not later than thirty days after the crime was ascertained. (H) The failure to provide information under this section may constitute the basis for the revocation of a permit or license, the denial of a permit or license application, the denial of a renewal of a permit or license, or the disapproval of a change in ownership as described in division (I) of this section. Prior to a denial, revocation, or disapproval, the director shall notify the applicant, permittee, or prospective owner of the director's intention to do so. The director shall give the applicant, permittee, or prospective owner fourteen days from the date of the notice to explain why the information was not provided. The director shall consider the explanation when determining whether to revoke the permit or license, deny the permit or license application or renewal, or disapprove the change in ownership. Nothing in this section affects the rights of the director or the attorney general granted under sections 3734.40 to 3734.47 of the Revised Code to request information from a person at any other time. (I)(1) Whenever there is a change in ownership of any operating off-site solid waste facility, any operating off-site infectious waste facility, or any operating off-site hazardous waste facility, the prospective owner shall file a disclosure statement with the attorney general and the director at least one hundred eighty days prior to the proposed change in ownership. In addition, whenever there is a change in ownership of any operating on-site solid waste facility, any operating on-site infectious waste facility, or any operating on-site hazardous waste facility and the prospective owner intends to operate the facility as an off-site facility by accepting wastes other than wastes generated by the facility owner, the prospective owner shall file a disclosure statement with the attorney general and the director. The prospective owner shall file the disclosure statement at least one hundred eighty days prior to the proposed change in ownership. Upon receipt of the disclosure statement, the attorney general shall prepare an investigative report and transmit it to the director. The director shall review the disclosure statement and investigative report to determine whether the statement or report contains information that if submitted with a permit application would require a denial of the permit pursuant to section 3734.44 of the Revised Code. If the director determines that the statement or report contains such information, the director shall disapprove the change in ownership. (2) If the parties to a change in ownership decide to proceed with the change prior to the action of the director on the disclosure statement and investigative report, the parties shall include in all contracts or other documents reflecting the change in ownership language expressly making the change in ownership subject to the approval of the director and expressly negating the change if it is disapproved by the director pursuant to division (I)(1) of this section. (3) As used in this section, "change in ownership" includes a change of the individuals or entities who own a solid waste facility, infectious waste facility, or hazardous waste facility. "Change in ownership" does not include a legal change in a business concern's name when its ownership otherwise remains the same. "Change in ownership" also does not include a personal name change of officers, directors, partners, or key employees contained in a disclosure statement. Last updated October 9, 2021 at 5:16 AM

A covenant not to sue shall contain both of the following, as applicable: (1) A provision releasing the person who undertook the voluntary action from all civil liability to this state to perform additional investigational and remedial activities to address a release of hazardous substances or petroleum when the property has undergone a phase I or a phase II property assessment in compliance with this chapter and rules adopted under it or has been the subject of remedial activities conducted under this chapter and rules adopted under it to address a release of hazardous substances or petroleum and such an assessment or those activities demonstrate or result in compliance with applicable standards, except: (a) As otherwise specifically provided in this chapter or as may be conditioned by the director under this chapter; (b) For claims for natural resource damages the state may have pursuant to section 107 or 113 of the "Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980," 94 Stat. 2781 and 2792, 42 U.S.C.A. 9607 and 9613, as amended; (c) For claims the state may have pursuant to section 107 of the "Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980," 94 Stat. 2781, 42 U.S.C.A. 9607, as amended, for costs other than those for damages to natural resources, provided that the state incurs those other costs as a result of an action by the president of the United States under section 104, 106, 107, or 122 of that act or pursuant to section 3746.29 of the Revised Code. (2) If the voluntary action involves the use of engineering controls that contain and control the release of hazardous substances or petroleum at or from the property in order to comply with applicable standards, all of the following: (a) A provision requiring that the person enter into an operation and maintenance agreement with the director that ensures that all engineering controls are maintained so that the remedy is protective of public health and safety and the environment; that includes provisions requiring the person to conduct monitoring for compliance with the engineering controls and the applicable standards upon which issuance of the covenant was based, and periodically to report the findings of the monitoring to the director, as specified in the agreement; and that includes financial assurances that the remedy will remain operational and functional; (b) A provision requiring the transferor of a covenant that contains an operation and maintenance agreement for engineering controls to notify the director whenever a transfer or assignment of the covenant or property to which it applies occurs; (c) A provision revoking the covenant if the engineering controls are violated or are no longer in place and the person has not reinstated the controls within a reasonable period of time as determined in accordance with the covenant. (B)(1) The release provided under division (A)(1) of this section remains effective only for as long as the property or portion thereof to which the covenant pertains continues to comply with the applicable standards upon which the issuance of the covenant was based. (2) Upon finding that a property or portion thereof to which a covenant not to sue pertains no longer complies with the applicable standards upon which issuance of the covenant was based, the director, by certified mail, receipt requested, shall mail notice of that fact and the requirements of division (B)(3) of this section to the person responsible for maintaining compliance with those standards. (3) Unless the recipient of a notice provided under division (B)(2) of this section, within thirty days after the mailing of the notice, notifies the director of the recipient's intention to return the property or portion thereof to compliance with the applicable standards upon which issuance of the covenant was based and enters into a compliance schedule agreement with the director, the director, by issuance of an order as a final action under Chapter 3745. of the Revised Code, shall revoke the covenant. The compliance schedule agreement shall establish a reasonable period of time for returning to compliance with those applicable standards. (4) Upon finding that a person with whom the director has entered into a compliance schedule agreement under division (B)(3) of this section has failed to return the property or portion thereof to which the agreement pertains to compliance with the applicable standards within the time established in the agreement, the director, by issuance of an order as a final action under Chapter 3745. of the Revised Code, shall revoke the covenant applicable to the property or portion thereof. (C) The director shall deny a covenant not to sue as a final action for any of the following reasons: (1) The no further action letter submitted on behalf of the person seeking the covenant not to sue does not comply with section 3746.11 of the Revised Code and any rules adopted under this chapter regarding no further action letters; (2) The director determines from information available to to the director that a remedy identified in the no further action letter does not protect public health and safety and the environment; (3) The no further action letter was submitted fraudulently. (D) The director shall not revoke a covenant not to sue issued for property for which a voluntary action was conducted in accordance with standards and procedures that applied prior to the adoption of rules under section 3746.04 of the Revised Code solely on the basis that the voluntary action was conducted in accordance with those standards and procedures. (E) Unless a covenant not to sue issued under this section is revoked through the operation of a provision of the covenant described in division (A)(2)(c) of this section, or under division (B) of this section, division (B)(2) of section 3746.18 of the Revised Code, or division (B) of section 3746.19 of the Revised Code, the covenant shall remain effective as long as the property complies with the applicable standards that were in effect when the person who undertook the voluntary action submitted the information and demonstrations required under division (C) of section 3746.10 of the Revised Code to the certified professional who prepared the no further action letter regardless of whether amendments to the rules adopted under division (B)(1) or (2) of section 3746.04 of the Revised Code that became effective after that time altered the generic numerical clean-up standards for a contaminant addressed by the voluntary action or the procedures or levels of acceptable risk that govern the property-specific risk assessments conducted in lieu of compliance with generic numerical standards.

July 2, 2010 House Bill 48 - 128th General Assembly If the estimated amount of money necessary to meet the expenses of a general health district program will not be forthcoming to the board of health of such district out of the district health fund because the taxes within the ten-mill limitation will be insufficient, the board of health shall certify the fact of such insufficiency to the board of county commissioners of the county in which such district is located. Such board of county commissioners is hereby ordained to be a special taxing authority for the purposes of this section only, and, notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the board of county commissioners of any county in which a general health district is located is the taxing authority for such special levy outside the ten-mill limitation. The board of county commissioners shall thereupon, in the year preceding that in which such health program will be effective, by vote of two-thirds of all the members of that body, declare by resolution that the amount of taxes which may be raised within the ten-mill limitation will be insufficient to provide an adequate amount for the necessary requirements of such district within the county, and that it is necessary to levy a tax in excess of such limitation in order to provide the board of health with sufficient funds to carry out such health program. Such resolution shall be filed with the board of elections not later than four p.m. of the ninetieth day before the day of election. Such resolution shall specify the amount of increase in rate which it is necessary to levy and the number of years during which such increase shall be in effect, which shall not be for a longer period than ten years.
