Status: in_force

October 29, 1995 Senate Bill 162 - 121st General Assembly (A) The emergency response commission, by resolution, shall designate emergency planning districts to prepare and implement district chemical emergency response and preparedness plans under this chapter. The commission may designate existing political subdivisions or multijurisdictional planning organizations as districts and may revise its designation of districts as it considers necessary or appropriate. At the request of the local emergency planning committees of two or more adjoining districts, the commission may designate those districts to constitute a joint emergency planning district. The commission also may enter into agreements with adjoining states or adjoining political subdivisions of contiguous states to establish joint interstate emergency planning districts. (B) The commission, by resolution, shall appoint the members of the local emergency planning committee of each emergency planning district. The committee shall consist of such number of members as the commission considers appropriate but shall include, without limitation, representatives from each of the following groups or organizations: elected state and local officials, law enforcement personnel, emergency management personnel, fire-fighting personnel, first aid personnel, health personnel, local environmental personnel, hospital personnel, transportation personnel, broadcast and print media personnel, community groups, and owners and operators of facilities subject to this chapter. If a district consists only of territory within one county, the commission shall appoint the members of the committee of the district from a list of persons submitted to the commission by the board of county commissioners of that county. If the district or joint district contains territory that lies wholly or partly within two or more counties, the commission shall appoint the members of the committee from the lists of persons submitted to the commission by the board of county commissioners of each county having territory within the district or joint district. Members of the committee for a joint interstate district shall be appointed in the manner provided in the agreement establishing the district. The terms of office of the members of a committee for a district other than a joint interstate district shall be for two years, with each term ending on the same day of the same month as did the term it succeeds. Each member shall hold office from the date of his appointment until the end of the term for which he was appointed. Members may be reappointed and vacancies shall be filled in the manner provided for original appointments. Any member appointed to fill a vacancy occurring prior to the expiration of the term for which his predecessor was appointed shall hold office for the remainder of that term. A member shall continue in office subsequent to the expiration date of his term until his successor takes office or until a period of sixty days has elapsed, whichever occurs first. The committee, by a two-thirds vote of all its members, may at any time remove a member for misfeasance, malfeasance, or nonfeasance or, at the request of the committee, the commission may remove a member of the committee for any of those reasons. The members of the committee for a joint interstate district shall be appointed, shall serve for such terms, and are subject to removal from the committee in the manner provided in the agreement establishing the district. Except for the purposes of Chapters 102., 2744., and 2921. of the Revised Code, serving as a member of a committee does not constitute holding a public office or position of employment under the laws of this state and does not constitute grounds for removal of public officers or employees from their offices or positions of employment. (C) The commission, as it considers appropriate, may modify its designation of emergency planning districts, the composition of the groups and organizations represented on the committee, or the number of members representing any of those groups or organizations on the committee, provided that each of the organizations or groups enumerated in division (B) of this section is represented on the committee. Members of the public, by written petition, may request the commission to modify the representation of those groups or organizations on the committee. If the commission reduces or eliminates representation of a group or organization on a committee, it shall declare the position of the member representing that group or organization to be abolished, and the person whose position is so abolished shall cease to serve as a member of the committee on the effective date of the commission's declaration. Appointments of members to fill positions established as a result of modification of the composition of the committee shall be made in the same manner as original appointments under this section. If the commission alters the boundaries of an existing emergency planning district, designates a joint district, or enters into an agreement to establish a joint interstate district, it shall, within thirty days after the effective date of the action, appoint a committee for each district created by or whose boundaries were altered by that action. Upon the appointment of a committee for each such district, the committee of each of the districts that existed prior to that action shall cease to exist. (D) A local emergency planning committee shall: (1) Appoint a chairman and vice-chairman and a secretary to keep a record of its proceedings; (2) Adopt bylaws for the conduct of its business; (3) Appoint an information coordinator who shall be responsible for maintaining the committee's files of information received under this chapter and rules adopted under it and for receiving and fulfilling requests from the public for that information; (4) Appoint a community emergency coordinator who shall be responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of the chemical emergency response and preparedness plan of the district and for receiving verbal and follow-up written notices of releases of hazardous substances and extremely hazardous substances provided under section 3750.06 of the Revised Code; (5) Except as otherwise authorized by division (E)(4) of this section, obtain any thing to be purchased, leased, leased with an option or agreement to purchase, or constructed, in accordance with the provisions of sections 307.86 to 307.92 of the Revised Code applicable to boards of county commissioners; (6) Establish and carry out a program to monitor regulated facilities within the district and to conduct compliance and enforcement activities to ensure that the facilities have submitted the information required by sections 3750.05 , 3750.07 , and 3750.08 of the Revised Code. Not later than the first day of October of each year, each committee shall submit a summary report of the compliance and enforcement activities of the committee during the previous calendar year. The report also shall contain an estimate of the number of facilities within the emergency planning district that are required to comply with any of those sections and, based upon the submission of emergency and hazardous chemical inventory forms required to be submitted on or before the immediately preceding first day of March under section 3750.08 of the Revised Code, the number of facilities within the district that are in compliance with those sections. (E) A local emergency planning committee may: (1) Receive and accept from any public or private source for the purposes of this chapter gifts, grants, or contributions of money, services of personnel, and real or personal property or their use. A municipal corporation, county, or township may, for the purposes of this chapter, make contributions of money, services of personnel, and real or personal property or their use to or on behalf of the district in which it is located. If, as a result of the redesignation of a district, designation of a joint district, or establishment of a joint interstate district by the commission, a municipal corporation, county, or township is withdrawn from a district that remains in existence, the committee of that remaining district shall ascertain the funds on hand, credits, and real and personal property of the district and shall make an equitable apportionment and distribution in money or in kind of that money and property between the political subdivision and the district from which it was withdrawn. (2) Appoint and fix the compensation of employees necessary or appropriate to perform the functions of a committee under this chapter within the district. Employees of a district shall be considered county employees for the purposes of Chapter 124. of the Revised Code and other provisions of the Revised Code applicable to employees. (3) Request, in writing, that the commission, pursuant to division (A) of section 3750.05 of the Revised Code, designate an additional facility within the district as being subject to the emergency planning and notification requirements of sections 3750.04 and 3750.05 of the Revised Code; (4) Enter into an agreement with the board of health of a city or general health district, a political subdivision that is located wholly or partly within the district, a countywide emergency management agency established under section 5502.26 of the Revised Code having jurisdiction within all or a portion of the district, a regional authority for emergency management established under section 5502.27 of the Revised Code having jurisdiction within all or a portion of the district, or a political subdivision that has established a program for emergency management under section 5502.271 of the Revised Code having jurisdiction within all or a portion of the district, whereby the board of health, political subdivision, agency, or authority will exercise any power, perform any function, or render any service on behalf of the committee that the committee may exercise, perform, or render under this chapter. The agreement shall specify the powers, functions, and services of the committee that the board of health, political subdivision, agency, or authority is authorized to exercise, perform, or render and shall establish either in specific terms or by prescribing a method for determining them the amounts of any payments to be made by the committee to the board of health, political subdivision, agency, or authority for performance of the agreement. Upon entering into an agreement under division (E)(4) of this section and within the limitations prescribed in it, the board of health, political subdivision, agency, or authority may exercise the same powers as the committee with respect to the performance of any function or rendering of any service under the agreement.

(F) The local emergency planning committee of an emergency planning district lying wholly within the boundaries of a county shall be considered a county board and shall receive the services of the auditor and prosecuting attorney of the county in the same manner as other county boards. If a district or joint district contains territory within two or more counties, the committee shall designate the county auditor of one of the counties in the district as the fiscal officer of the district and shall designate the prosecuting attorney of one of the counties as legal advisor of the district. The prosecuting attorney shall provide such services to the district as are required or authorized to be provided to county boards under Chapter 309. of the Revised Code. The committee of a joint interstate district shall designate a fiscal officer and legal advisor under this division in the same manner as a joint district unless the agreement establishing the joint interstate district provides otherwise.

§ 3717.29. Board of health may suspend or revoke retail food establishment license
Status: in_force

November 21, 2001 Senate Bill 136 - 124th General Assembly (A) This section applies when the licensor of retail food establishments is a board of health. (B) A board of health may suspend or revoke a retail food establishment license on determining that the license holder is in violation of any requirement of this chapter or the rules adopted under it applicable to retail food establishments, including a violation evidenced by documented failure to maintain sanitary conditions within the establishment. (C)(1) Except in the case of a violation that presents a clear and present danger to the public health, before initiating action to suspend or revoke a retail food establishment license, the board shall give the license holder written notice specifying each violation and a reasonable time within which the license holder must correct each violation to avoid suspension or revocation of the license. The board may extend the time specified in the notice for correcting a violation if the license holder is making a good faith effort to correct it. If the license holder fails to correct the violation in the time granted by the board, the board may initiate action to suspend or revoke the retail food establishment license by giving the license holder written notice of the proposed suspension or revocation. The board shall include in the notice a description of the procedure for appealing the proposed suspension or revocation. The license holder may appeal the proposed suspension or revocation by giving written notice to the board. The license holder shall specify in the notice whether a hearing is requested. The appeal shall be conducted in accordance with division (C)(3) of this section. A health commissioner or other person employed by the board, if the health commissioner or person is authorized by the board to take the action, may take any action that the board may take under division (C)(1) of this section. (2) If a board initiates actions to revoke or, except in the case of a violation that presents a clear and present danger to the public health, to suspend a retail food establishment license, the board shall determine whether to revoke or suspend the license by a majority vote of the board members who are present at a meeting at which there is a quorum. If the board decides to revoke or suspend the license, the board shall issue a formal written order revoking or suspending the license. (3) An appeal made under division (C)(1) of this section shall be conducted in accordance with procedures established in rules adopted by the director of agriculture under section 3717.33 of the Revised Code. If a license holder requests a hearing, the board shall hold the hearing before issuing an order under division (C)(2) of this section but may hold the hearing at the same meeting at which issuance of the order is considered. (D)(1) On determining that a license holder is in violation of any requirement of this chapter or the rules adopted under it applicable to retail food establishments and that the violation presents a clear and present danger to the public health, the board may suspend the retail food establishment license without giving written notice or affording the license holder the opportunity to correct the violation. If the license holder is operating a mobile retail food establishment, either the licensor that issued the license or the licensor for the health district in which the establishment is being operated may suspend the license. A suspension under division (D)(1) of this section takes effect immediately and remains in effect until the board rescinds the suspension. When a mobile retail food establishment license is suspended under this division, the licensor that suspended the license shall hold the license until the suspension is lifted and the licensor receives from the license holder written notice of the next location at which the license holder proposes to operate the retail food establishment. After suspending a license under division (D)(1) of this section, the licensor shall give the license holder written notice of the procedure for appealing the suspension. The license holder may appeal the suspension by giving written notice to the board and specifying in the notice whether a hearing is requested. The appeal shall be conducted in accordance with division (D)(2) of this section. A health commissioner, if authorized by the board to take the action, may take any action that may be taken by the board under division (D)(1) of this section. A health commissioner who suspends a license under this authority, on determining that there is no longer a clear and present danger to the public health, may rescind the suspension without consulting the board. (2) If the license holder appeals a suspension under division (D)(1) of this section, the board shall determine whether the clear and present danger to the public health continues to exist by majority vote of the board members who are present at a meeting at which there is a quorum. If the board determines that there is no longer a clear and present danger to the public health, the board shall rescind the suspension. If the board determines that the clear and present danger continues to exist, the board shall issue an order continuing the suspension. (3) An appeal requested under division (D)(1) of this section shall be conducted in accordance with procedures established in rules adopted by the director of agriculture under section 3717.33 of the Revised Code. If the license holder requests a hearing, the board shall hold the hearing not later than two business days after the board receives the request. The board shall hold the hearing before issuing an order under division (D)(2) of this section but may conduct the hearing at the same meeting at which issuance of the order is considered. In the case of a suspension of a mobile retail food establishment, the appeal shall be made to the licensor that suspended the license. (E) A license holder may appeal an order issued under division (C) or (D) of this section to the common pleas court of the county in which the licensor is located.

Status: in_force

September 29, 2011 House Bill 153 - 129th General Assembly (A) As used in this section: (1) "On-site facility" means a facility that treats or disposes of hazardous waste that is generated on the premises of the facility. (2) "Off-site facility" means a facility that treats or disposes of hazardous waste that is generated off the premises of the facility. (3) "Satellite facility" means any of the following: (a) An on-site facility that also receives hazardous waste from other premises owned by the same person who generates the waste on the facility premises; (b) An off-site facility operated so that all of the hazardous waste it receives is generated on one or more premises owned by the person who owns the facility; (c) An on-site facility that also receives hazardous waste that is transported uninterruptedly and directly to the facility through a pipeline from a generator who is not the owner of the facility. (B) A treatment or disposal facility that is subject to the fees that are levied under this section may be both an on-site facility and an off-site facility. The determination of whether an on-site facility fee or an off-site facility fee is to be paid for a hazardous waste that is treated or disposed of at the facility shall be based on whether that hazardous waste was generated on or off the premises of the facility. (C) There are hereby levied fees on the disposal of hazardous waste to be collected according to the following schedule at each disposal facility to which a hazardous waste facility installation and operation permit or renewal of a permit has been issued under this chapter or that is operating in accordance with a permit by rule under rules adopted by the director of environmental protection: (1) For disposal facilities that are off-site facilities, fees shall be levied at the rate of four dollars and fifty cents per ton for hazardous waste disposed of by deep well injection and nine dollars per ton for hazardous waste disposed of by land application or landfilling. The owner or operator of the facility, as a trustee for the state, shall collect the fees and forward them to the director in accordance with rules adopted under this section. (2) For disposal facilities that are on-site or satellite facilities, fees shall be levied at the rate of two dollars per ton for hazardous waste disposed of by deep well injection and four dollars per ton for hazardous waste disposed of by land application or landfilling.

The maximum annual disposal fee for an on-site facility that disposes of more than one hundred thousand tons of hazardous waste in a year by land application or landfilling is fifty thousand dollars, and the maximum annual fee for an on-site facility that disposes of more than one hundred thousand tons of hazardous waste in a year by deep well injection is one hundred thousand dollars. The maximum annual disposal fee for a satellite facility that disposes of one hundred thousand tons or less of hazardous waste in a year is thirty-seven thousand five hundred dollars, and the maximum annual disposal fee for a satellite facility that disposes of more than one hundred thousand tons of hazardous waste in a year is seventy-five thousand dollars, except that a satellite facility defined under division (A)(3)(b) of this section that receives hazardous waste from a single generation site is subject to the same maximum annual disposal fees as an on-site disposal facility. The owner or operator shall pay the fee to the director each year upon the anniversary of the date of issuance of the owner's or operator's installation and operation permit during the term of that permit and any renewal permit issued under division (H) of section 3734.05 of the Revised Code or on the anniversary of the date of a permit by rule. If payment is late, the owner or operator shall pay an additional ten per cent of the amount of the fee for each month that it is late. (D) There are hereby levied fees at the rate of two dollars per ton on hazardous waste that is treated at treatment facilities that are not on-site or satellite facilities to which a hazardous waste facility installation and operation permit or renewal of a permit has been issued under this chapter, whose owner or operator is operating in accordance with a permit by rule under rules adopted by the director, or that are not subject to the hazardous waste facility installation and operation permit requirements under rules adopted by the director. (E) There are hereby levied additional fees on the treatment and disposal of hazardous waste at the rate of ten per cent of the applicable fees prescribed in division (C) or (D) of this section for the purposes of paying the costs of municipal corporations and counties for conducting reviews of applications for hazardous waste facility installation and operation permits for proposed new or modified hazardous waste landfills within their boundaries, emergency response actions with respect to releases of hazardous waste from hazardous waste facilities within their boundaries, monitoring the operation of such hazardous waste facilities, and local waste management planning programs.

The owner or operator of a facility located in an unincorporated area, as a trustee of the county in which the facility is located, shall collect the fees levied by this division and forward them to the county treasurer of that county in accordance with rules adopted under this section. The owner or operator shall pay the fees levied by this division to the treasurer or such other officer of the municipal corporation or to the county treasurer each year upon the anniversary of the date of issuance of the owner's or operator's installation and operation permit during the term of that permit and any renewal permit issued under division (H) of section 3734.05 of the Revised Code or on the anniversary of the date of a permit by rule or the date on which the facility became exempt from hazardous waste facility installation and operation permit requirements under rules adopted by the director. If payment is late, the owner or operator shall pay an additional ten per cent of the amount of the fee for each month that the payment is late. Moneys received by a municipal corporation under this division shall be paid into a special fund of the municipal corporation and used exclusively for the purposes of conducting reviews of applications for hazardous waste facility installation and operation permits for new or modified hazardous waste landfills located or proposed within the municipal corporation, conducting emergency response actions with respect to releases of hazardous waste from facilities located within the municipal corporation, monitoring operation of such hazardous waste facilities, and conducting waste management planning programs within the municipal corporation through employees of the municipal corporation or pursuant to contracts entered into with persons or political subdivisions. Moneys received by a board of county commissioners under this division shall be paid into a special fund of the county and used exclusively for those purposes within the unincorporated area of the county through employees of the county or pursuant to contracts entered into with persons or political subdivisions. (F) As used in this section, "treatment" or "treated" does not include any method, technique, or process designed to recover energy or material resources from the waste or to render the waste amenable for recovery. The fees levied by division (D) of this section do not apply to hazardous waste that is treated and disposed of on the same premises or by the same person. (G) The director, by rules adopted in accordance with Chapters 119. and 3745. of the Revised Code, shall prescribe any dates not specified in this section and procedures for collecting and forwarding the fees prescribed by this section and may prescribe other requirements that are necessary to carry out this section. The director shall deposit the moneys collected under divisions (C) and (D) of this section to the credit of the hazardous waste facility management fund, which is hereby created in the state treasury, except that the director shall deposit to the credit of the underground injection control fund created in section 6111.046 of the Revised Code moneys in excess of fifty thousand dollars that are collected during a fiscal year under division (C)(2) of this section from the fee levied on the disposal of hazardous waste by deep well injection at an on-site disposal facility that disposes of more than one hundred thousand tons of hazardous waste in a year. The environmental protection agency may use moneys in the hazardous waste facility management fund for administration of the hazardous waste program established under this chapter and, in accordance with this section, may request approval by the controlling board on an annual basis for that use and for the purposes specified in sections 3734.19 to 3734.27 of the Revised Code. If moneys in the fund that the agency uses in accordance with this chapter are reimbursed by grants or other moneys from the United States government, the grants or other moneys shall be placed in the fund. Before the agency makes any expenditure from the fund other than for repayment of and interest on any loan made by the Ohio water development authority to the agency, the controlling board shall approve the expenditure.
