The plan for closure or abatement of air or water pollution or soil contamination may be prepared in consultation with the director or the board of health of the city or general health district in which the facility is located. The director may award the applicant a grant only if the director finds that the proposed measures will provide for the proper closure of the facility and will abate or prevent air or water pollution or soil contamination, including, but not limited to, those measures necessary or desirable to: (1) In the case of a facility at which land burial of hazardous waste occurred, establish and maintain a suitable cover of soil and vegetation over the cells in which waste is buried in order to minimize erosion, the infiltration of surface water into the cells, the production of leachate, and the accumulation or runoff of contaminated surface waters and to prevent air emissions of hazardous waste from the facility; (2) Collect and treat contaminated surface water runoff from the facility; (3) Collect and treat leachate produced at the facility; (4) Install test wells and other equipment or facilities to monitor the quality of surface waters receiving runoff from the facility or to monitor air emissions of hazardous waste from the facility; (5) Regularly monitor and analyze surface water runoff from the facility, the quality of waters receiving the runoff, and ground water quality in the vicinity of the facility, and regularly monitor leachate collection and treatment systems installed under the grant and analyze samples from them; (6) Remove and dispose of hazardous waste from the facility at a suitable hazardous waste disposal facility where necessary to protect public health or safety or to prevent or abate air or water pollution or soil contamination. (C) The director shall determine the amount of the grant based upon the director's determination of what constitutes reasonable and necessary expenses for the proper closure of the facility or for the prevention or elimination of air or water pollution or soil contamination from the facility. In making a grant, the director shall enter into a contract with the municipal corporation, county, or township that owns the facility to ensure that the moneys granted are used for the purposes of this section and that measures performed are properly done. The final payment under a grant may not be made until the director inspects and approves the completed cleanup.

Such easements shall be for a specified period of years and may be extinguished by agreement between the political subdivision and the director. When necessary to protect public health or safety, the contract may require the municipal corporation, county, or township to enter into an environmental covenant with the director in accordance with sections 5301.80 to 5301.92 of the Revised Code.

December 7, 2006 Enacted by Initiative Petition - Issue 5 Construction; other applicable laws. Because medical studies have conclusively shown that exposure to secondhand smoke from tobacco causes illness and disease, including lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illness, smoking in the workplace is a statewide concern and, therefore, it is in the best interests of public health that smoking of tobacco products be prohibited in public places and places of employment and that there be a uniform statewide minimum standard to protect workers and the public from the health hazards associated with exposure to secondhand smoke from tobacco. The provisions of this chapter shall be liberally construed so as to further its purposes of protecting public health and the health of employees and shall prevail over any less restrictive state or local laws or regulations. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to permit smoking where it is otherwise restricted by other laws or regulations.

(B) If the director of health determines, on the basis of the information submitted by the directors or trustees, that one or more of the goals set forth in division (A) of section 3727.21 of the Revised Code is likely to be met through the implementation of a cooperative agreement and that the benefits resulting from the cooperative agreement are likely to outweigh the disadvantages attributable to any reduction in competition, the director shall submit the request for approval of an agreement to undertake cooperative action to the attorney general for review. The attorney general shall review the request not later than thirty days after he receives it. The attorney general may advise the director, in writing, to approve or deny the request. Failure by the attorney general to advise the director regarding his review within thirty days of his receipt of the request shall constitute his approval of the request. If the attorney general advises the director to deny a request, he shall state the reasons for such denial. Reasons for advising the director to deny a request include a determination that the implementation of the agreement will result in price-fixing or predatory pricing. On receipt of the advice of the attorney general, or at the end of the thirty-day period, the director of health shall issue an order in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code approving or denying the cooperative agreement. The director's order to approve or deny a cooperative agreement is not subject to appeal.

If updates are requested, the director shall specify the intervals at which they must be submitted, which shall be not less than every ninety days. The attorney general may request the director to provide copies of any updates the director receives. (E) The director of health may rescind an order approving a cooperative agreement by issuing a rescission order in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code if updates of the progress of the approved cooperative agreement are not provided to him as requested, if he determines that the approved cooperative agreement is not meeting one or more of the goals specified in division (A) of section 3727.21 of the Revised Code, or if he determines that the benefits resulting from the cooperative agreement do not outweigh the disadvantages attributable to any reduction in competition. A rescission order may be appealed in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code by any of the hospitals that are parties to the cooperative agreement. Any affected person may intervene in the appeal. (F) Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the attorney general to initiate civil enforcement action or criminal prosecution if he determines that the hospitals or their directors or trustees have exceeded the scope of the cooperative agreement approved under division (B) of this section. (G) Nothing in sections 3727.21 to 3727.23 of the Revised Code shall obligate the boards of directors or boards of trustees of a group of hospitals to submit a request for approval under this section.

A district that is proposing at the same time to amend or abolish the fees levied under divisions (A) and (B) of this section may adopt one resolution proposing the amendment or repeal of all of the fees. The requirements and procedures under division (B) and, if applicable, division (C) of this section govern the adoption and ratification of a resolution authorized to be adopted under this division and the notification of owners and operators of solid waste facilities required to collect the fees. Collection of the fees so amended or abolished commences or ceases in accordance with division (B) of section 3734.57 of the Revised Code. (E) Not later than thirty days before the beginning of each calendar quarter, the board of county commissioners or board of directors of a district that is levying fees under division (A) or (B) of this section shall submit to the director a proposed budget for the expenditure of moneys from the special fund of the district created under division (G) of section 3734.57 of the Revised Code. The proposed budget shall be submitted on a form prescribed by the director. The director may disapprove in whole or in part such a proposed quarterly budget for any of the following reasons: (1) The proposed budget includes expenditures for any purpose other than those authorized under division (G) of section 3734.57 of the Revised Code; (2) The director reasonably estimates that there will be insufficient moneys in the special fund created to meet the proposed expenditures; (3) The board failed to submit the proposed budget to the director at least thirty days prior to the beginning of the calendar quarter to which it pertains; (4) The board failed to submit the latest report of quarterly expenditures from the fund that it was required to submit under section 3734.575 of the Revised Code within thirty days after the end of the calendar quarter to which it pertains; (5) The district is materially failing to comply with the implementation schedule contained in the plan or amended plan of the district prepared and ordered to be implemented under section 3734.521 , 3734.55 , or 3734.56 of the Revised Code; (6) There have been repeated inconsistencies between the expenditures projected in the proposed budgets submitted under division (E) of this section and actual expenditures from the fund. If the director does not disapprove a proposed quarterly budget prior to the first day of the calendar quarter to which it pertains, it is conclusively presumed that the proposed budget has not been disapproved. Nothing in division (E) of this section precludes the board of county commissioners or directors of a district from making necessary expenditures to meet unforeseen circumstances that occur during a calendar quarter that were not provided for in the proposed budget for that quarter. Prior to making any such expenditure, the board shall notify the director of the nature of the unforeseen circumstances and of the amount of the expenditure needed to meet them. The board shall include an explanation of the nature of the unforeseen circumstances and of the necessity and amount of the expenditures to meet them in the quarterly expenditure report for the quarter in which the expenditures were made that is submitted to the director under section 3734.575 of the Revised Code. (F) If the director finds that the board of county commissioners or directors of a district that is levying fees under division (A) or (B) of this section is in material and continued noncompliance with the implementation schedule contained in the plan or amended plan of the district prepared and ordered to be implemented under section 3734.521 , 3734.55 , or 3734.56 of the Revised Code, or if repeated whole or partial disapprovals of the proposed quarterly budgets of the district have occurred under division (E) of this section, the director may issue an order to the board terminating the collection of all of the fees levied by the district under division (A) or (B) of this section. Notwithstanding section 119.06 of the Revised Code, the director may issue an order under this division or disapprove in whole or in part a proposed budget under division (E) of this section by issuance of a final action that is effective upon issuance without the necessity to hold any adjudication hearing in connection with the order or disapproval and without the issuance of a proposed action under section 3745.07 of the Revised Code. (G) The director, in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, may adopt, amend, suspend, and rescind such rules as the director considers to be necessary or appropriate to implement or administer this section or division (D) of section 3734.55 of the Revised Code. (H) Moneys received by a district levying fees under division (A) or (B) of this section shall be credited to the special fund of the district created in division (G) of section 3734.57 of the Revised Code and shall be used exclusively for the purposes set forth in division (G) of that section in the manner prescribed by the solid waste management policy committee of the district by resolution and for the purposes of section 3734.551 of the Revised Code.
