§ 3734.85. Enforcement and removal
Status: in_force

October 3, 2023 House Bill 33 - 135th General Assembly (A) On and after the effective date of the rules adopted under sections 3734.70 , 3734.71 , 3734.72 , and 3734.73 of the Revised Code, the director of environmental protection may take action under this section to abate accumulations of scrap tires. If the director determines that an accumulation of scrap tires constitutes a danger to the public health or safety or to the environment, the director shall issue an order under section 3734.13 of the Revised Code to the person responsible for the accumulation of scrap tires directing that person to remove the accumulation of scrap tires from the premises on which it is located and transport the tires to a scrap tire storage, monocell, monofill, or recovery facility licensed under section 3734.81 of the Revised Code, to such a facility in another state operating in compliance with the laws of the state in which it is located, or to any other solid waste disposal facility in another state that is operating in compliance with the laws of that state. If the person responsible for causing the accumulation of scrap tires is a person different from the owner of the land on which the accumulation is located, the director may issue such an order to the landowner. If the director is unable to ascertain immediately the identity of the person responsible for causing the accumulation of scrap tires, the director shall examine the records of the applicable board of health and law enforcement agencies to ascertain that person's identity. Before initiating any enforcement or removal actions under this division against the owner of the land on which the accumulation is located, the director shall initiate any such actions against the person that the director has identified as responsible for causing the accumulation of scrap tires. Failure of the director to make diligent efforts to ascertain the identity of the person responsible for causing the accumulation of scrap tires or to initiate an action against the person responsible for causing the accumulation shall not constitute an affirmative defense by a landowner to an enforcement action initiated by the director under this division requiring immediate removal of any accumulation of scrap tires. Upon the written request of the recipient of an order issued under this division, the director may extend the time for compliance with the order if the request demonstrates that the recipient has acted in good faith to comply with the order. If the recipient of an order issued under this division fails to comply with each milestone established in the order within the period of time specified in the order or, if the time for compliance with the order was so extended, within that time, the director shall take such actions as the director considers reasonable and necessary to remove and properly manage the scrap tires located on the land named in the order. The director, through employees of the environmental protection agency or a contractor, may enter upon the land on which the accumulation of scrap tires is located and remove and transport them to a scrap tire recovery facility for processing, to a scrap tire storage facility for storage, or to a scrap tire monocell or monofill facility for storage or disposal. When performing a removal action under this section, the director also may remove, transport, and dispose of any of the following if the removal is required by the order issued under this division: (1) Any additional solid wastes that were open dumped on the land named in the order; (2) Any construction and demolition debris that was illegally disposed of on the land named in the order. The director shall enter into contracts for the storage, disposal, or processing of scrap tires removed through removal operations conducted under this section. If a person to whom a removal order is issued under this division fails to comply with the order and if the director performs a removal action under this section, the person to whom the removal order is issued is liable to the director for the costs incurred by the director for conducting the removal operation. The costs incurred include the storage, transportation, processing, or disposal of the scrap tires or any additional solid wastes or construction and demolition debris removed in accordance with this division, and the administrative and legal expenses incurred by the director in connection with the removal operation. The director shall keep an itemized record of those costs. Upon completion of the actions for which the costs were incurred, the director may record the costs at the office of the county recorder of the county in which the accumulation of scrap tires, additional solid wastes, and construction and demolition debris were located. The costs so recorded constitute a lien on the property on which the accumulation of scrap tires, additional solid wastes, and construction and demolition debris were located until discharged. Upon the written request of the director, the attorney general shall bring a civil action against the person responsible for the accumulation of the scrap tires that were the subject of the removal operation to recover the costs for which the person is liable under this division. Any money so received or recovered shall be credited to the scrap tire management fund created in section 3734.82 of the Revised Code. If, in a civil action brought under this division, an owner of real property is ordered to pay to the director the costs of a removal action that removed an accumulation of scrap tires from the person's land or if a lien is placed on the person's land for the costs of such a removal action, and, in either case, if the landowner was not the person responsible for causing the accumulation of scrap tires so removed, the landowner may bring a civil action against the person who was responsible for causing the accumulation to recover the amount of the removal costs that the court ordered the landowner to pay to the director or the amount of the removal costs certified to the county recorder as a lien on the landowner's property, whichever is applicable. If the landowner prevails in the civil action against the person who was responsible for causing the accumulation of scrap tires, the court, as it considers appropriate, may award to the landowner the reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the landowner for bringing the action, court costs, and other reasonable expenses incurred by the landowner in connection with the civil action. A landowner shall bring such a civil action within two years after making the final payment of the removal costs to the director pursuant to the judgment rendered against the landowner in the civil action brought under this division upon the director's request or within two years after the director certified the costs of the removal action to the county recorder, as appropriate. A person who, at the time that a removal action was conducted under this division, owned the land on which the removal action was performed may bring an action under this division to recover the costs of the removal action from the person responsible for causing the accumulation of scrap tires so removed regardless of whether the person owns the land at the time of bringing the action. Subject to the limitations set forth in division (G) of section 3734.82 of the Revised Code, the director may use moneys in the scrap tire management fund for conducting removal actions under this division. Any moneys recovered under this division shall be credited to the scrap tire management fund. (B) The director shall initiate enforcement and removal actions under division (A) of this section in accordance with the following descending listing of priorities: (1) Accumulations of scrap tires that the director finds constitute a fire hazard or threat to public health; (2) Accumulations of scrap tires determined by the director to contain more than one million scrap tires; (3) Accumulations of scrap tires in densely populated areas; (4) Other accumulations of scrap tires that the director or board of health of the health district in which the accumulation is located determines constitute a public nuisance; (5) Any other accumulations of scrap tires present on premises operating without a valid license issued under section 3734.05 or 3734.81 of the Revised Code. (C) The director shall not take enforcement and removal actions under division (A) of this section against the owner or operator of, or the owner of the land on which is located, any of the following: (1) A premises where not more than one hundred scrap tires are present at any time; (2) The premises of a business engaging in the sale of tires at retail that meets either of the following criteria: (a) Not more than one thousand scrap tires are present on the premises at any time in an unsecured, uncovered outdoor location. (b) Any number of scrap tires are secured in a building or a covered, enclosed container, trailer, or installation.

§ 3734.52. Establishing county or joint solid waste management districts
Status: in_force

April 16, 1993 House Bill 723 - 119th General Assembly (A) In order to prepare, adopt, submit, and implement a solid waste management plan that complies with section 3734.55 of the Revised Code, the board of county commissioners of each county either shall establish and maintain a solid waste management district under Chapter 343. of the Revised Code, or shall participate in establishing and maintaining a joint solid waste management district with one or more other such boards under that chapter, in compliance with division (B) of this section. Except as otherwise provided in this division, all of the incorporated and unincorporated territory of the county shall be under the jurisdiction of the county or joint solid waste management district for the purposes of preparing, adopting, submitting, and implementing the solid waste management plan for the county or joint district and for the purposes of providing for, or causing to be provided for, the safe and sanitary management of solid wastes within all of the incorporated and unincorporated territory of the county or joint solid waste management district. If a municipal corporation is located in more than one solid waste management district, the entire municipal corporation shall be considered to be included in and shall be under the jurisdiction of the district in which a majority of the population of the municipal corporation resides. (B) Not later than March 24, 1989, the board of county commissioners of each county shall do one of the following: (1) Establish a county solid waste management district under Chapter 343. of the Revised Code; (2) With the boards of county commissioners of one or more other counties, establish a joint solid waste management district under that chapter. Upon adoption of the resolution establishing a county district, or upon entering into an agreement with one or more other such boards to establish a joint district, the board of county commissioners shall mail a copy of the resolution or agreement to the director of environmental protection. Each county and joint solid waste management district established to comply with this division shall have a population of not less than one hundred twenty thousand unless an exemption has been granted under division (C)(1) or (2) of this section. (C)(1) The board of county commissioners of a county with a population of fewer than one hundred twenty thousand in which one or more solid waste facilities are located that have sufficient remaining capacity to dispose of all solid wastes generated within the county, or that has entered into a firm agreement that provides for the disposal of all solid wastes generated within the county whether within or outside the county or state, for a period of not less than ten years after June 24, 1988, may apply to the director for an exemption from the requirement under division (B) of this section that each district have a population of at least one hundred twenty thousand. The exemption application shall be accompanied by the board's certification and demonstration of access to sufficient solid waste management facility capacity to provide for the disposal of the solid wastes generated in the county during that ten-year period. If the director finds that the board has made the demonstration required by this division, he shall issue an order under division (G) of section 3734.02 of the Revised Code exempting the board from that requirement of division (B) of this section. (2) The board of county commissioners of a county with a population of less than one hundred twenty thousand that does not have sufficient solid waste management facility capacity within the county or access to sufficient capacity by contract to make the demonstrations required by division (C)(1) of this section may submit to the director, not later than December 24, 1988, a statement of how the board will provide for sufficient solid waste facility capacity within the county or for access to sufficient solid waste management facility capacity to dispose of all solid wastes generated within the county during the subsequent ten-year period. The statement shall be accompanied by a study of the financial feasibility of the measures proposed in the statement that shall contain an inventory of all existing solid waste disposal, transfer, and resource recovery facilities and recycling activities in the county and estimates of the remaining capacity available at each such facility; estimates of the amounts of solid wastes that will be generated within the county during each year of the subsequent ten-year period; an identification of the additional solid waste management facilities and capacity the county intends to provide to dispose of those estimated amounts of solid wastes; and a schedule for implementation of the measures proposed in the statement and estimates of the capital and operating costs, and rates that will be charged to meet those costs, for those additional facilities, or contracts for access to solid waste management facility capacity, identified in the study. Within sixty days after receiving the statement and financial feasibility study from any such board of county commissioners, the director shall approve or disapprove the statement and study. The director shall approve such a statement and financial feasibility study only if they demonstrate a technically and economically feasible means of providing for the environmentally sound management of solid wastes generated in the county during the subsequent ten-year period. If the director approves the statement and financial feasibility study of a county, he shall issue an order under division (G) of section 3734.02 of the Revised Code exempting the board from the requirement of division (B) of this section that each county or joint district have a population of at least one hundred twenty thousand. (D) Upon expiration of the nine-month period under division (B) of this section, the director shall determine which counties failed to submit a copy of the resolution or agreement required by that division or, for those that filed a resolution or agreement, which of them failed either to establish a county or joint solid waste management district having a population of at least one hundred twenty thousand or to obtain an exemption order under division (C)(1) or (2) of this section. Within twelve months after June 24, 1988, the director shall issue to the board of county commissioners of each county having a population of at least one hundred twenty thousand that failed to comply with division (B) of this section or that obtained an exemption order under division (C)(1) or (2) of this section an order in accordance with Chapter 3745. of the Revised Code directing the board to submit a copy of the resolution or agreement or to establish a county or joint solid waste management district within thirty days after issuance of the order and, upon adoption of the resolution, to mail a copy of it to the director. With respect to those counties having a population of fewer than one hundred twenty thousand that either failed to comply with division (B) of this section or submitted a resolution or agreement for establishment of a county or joint solid waste management district and failed to obtain an exemption under division (C)(1) or (2) of this section, the director shall make a determination as to how one or more of those counties should be combined with one another, with the county solid waste management district of a county that complied with division (B) of this section regardless of whether the complying county obtained an exemption under division (C)(1) or (2) of this section, or with a joint district formed by counties that complied with division (B) of this section, to form a joint district with a population of at least one hundred twenty thousand that, in the director's judgment, will be most conducive to achievement of the objectives of the state solid waste management plan adopted under section 3734.50 of the Revised Code and of this chapter. After making any such determination, the director shall mail notice of the determination to the board of county commissioners of each county named in it. Within thirty days after mailing notice of the determination, the director shall hold a public meeting in each of the counties named in the determination. Thereafter, the director shall issue an order in accordance with Chapter 3745. of the Revised Code to each board of county commissioners named in the determination directing the boards to enter into an agreement to establish a joint solid waste management district under Chapter 343. of the Revised Code within a specified reasonable period of time and to mail a copy of the agreement to the director. Notwithstanding section 119.06 of the Revised Code, the director may issue orders under this division without the necessity for holding an adjudication hearing in connection with the order and without first issuing a proposed action under section 3745.07 of the Revised Code. (E) Sections 3734.52 to 3734.57 and Chapter 343. of the Revised Code do not prohibit any person, municipal corporation, or township from providing solid waste collection services; establishing, enlarging, modifying, or replacing a solid waste facility; or establishing and collecting rates or charges for the use of those facilities or services that are in compliance with sections 3734.01 to 3734.13 of the Revised Code, rules adopted under those sections, the solid waste management plan of the county or joint solid waste management district having territorial jurisdiction over the facility or service area approved or ordered under section 3734.521 or 3734.55 of the Revised Code, amendments to the plan approved or ordered under section 3734.521 or 3734.56 of the Revised Code, and rules adopted under division (G) of section 343.01 of the Revised Code. In the instance of a solid waste facility for or on behalf of which general obligation or revenue bonds were issued or a loan was made under Chapter 133., 343., or 6123. of the Revised Code on or before the effective date of the solid waste management plan of the county or joint district in which the facility is located, nothing in this section, in Chapter 343. of the Revised Code, or in the plan or amended plan of the district prohibits or limits the construction, operation, use, repair, or maintenance of the facility or the establishment and collection of rates or charges for use of the facility, regardless of whether the facility complies with the district's plan or amended plan, until such time as the principal of and interest on any such bonds or loan have been paid in full or until the owner abandons the facility. The solid waste management plan or amended plan of each county or joint district shall provide for the maximum feasible utilization of solid waste facilities that were in operation within the district, or for which permits were issued under section 3734.05 of the Revised Code, on or before the effective date of the plan or amended plan and that are in compliance with sections 3734.01 to 3734.13 of the Revised Code and rules adopted under those sections. The plan or amended plan shall incorporate all solid waste recycling activities that were in operation within the district on the effective date of the plan or amended plan.

(5) In developing rules to implement this division, the director shall give special attention to the required documentation of the need for such beds, including the efforts made by the hospital to place patients in suitable skilled nursing facilities, and special attention to the appropriate size of units with such beds given the historical pattern of the applicant hospital's documented difficulty in placing skilled nursing patients.

Any party desiring to so appeal shall file with the commission a notice of appeal designating the order appealed. A copy of the notice also shall be filed by the appellant with the court, and a copy shall be sent by certified mail to the director of environmental protection unless the director is the party appealing the order. Such notices shall be filed and mailed within thirty days after the date upon which the appellant received notice from the commission by certified mail of the making of the order appealed. No appeal bond shall be required to make an appeal effective. The filing of a notice of appeal shall not automatically operate as a suspension of the order of the commission. If it appears to the court that an unjust hardship to the appellant will result from the execution of the commission's order pending determination of the appeal, the court may grant a suspension of the order and fix its terms. Within twenty days after receipt of the notice of appeal, the commission shall prepare and file in the court the complete record of proceedings out of which the appeal arises, including any transcript of the testimony and any other evidence that has been submitted before the commission. The expense of preparing and transcribing the record shall be taxed as a part of the costs of the appeal.

If the complete record is not filed within the time provided for in this section, any party may apply to the court to have the case docketed, and the court shall order the record filed. In hearing the appeal, the court is confined to the record as certified to it by the commission. The court may grant a request for the admission of additional evidence when satisfied that such additional evidence is newly discovered and could not with reasonable diligence have been ascertained prior to the hearing before the commission. The court shall conduct a hearing on the appeal and shall give preference to all proceedings under this section over all other civil cases, irrespective of the position of the proceedings on the calendar of the court. The hearing in the court of appeals shall proceed as in the case of a civil action, and the court shall determine the rights of the parties in accordance with the laws applicable to such action. At the hearing, counsel may be heard on oral argument, briefs may be submitted, and evidence introduced if the court has granted a request for the presentation of additional evidence. The court shall affirm the order complained of in the appeal if it finds, upon consideration of the entire record and such additional evidence as the court has admitted, that the order is supported by reliable, probative, and substantial evidence and is in accordance with law. In the absence of such a finding, it shall reverse, vacate, or modify the order or make such other ruling as is supported by reliable, probative, and substantial evidence and is in accordance with law. When the court finds an ambient air quality standard, an emission standard, or a water quality or discharge standard to be deficient, it shall order the director of environmental protection to modify the standard to comply with the laws governing air or water pollution. The court shall retain jurisdiction until it approves the modified standard. The judgment of the court shall be final and conclusive unless reversed, vacated, or modified on appeal.

In such court proceeding, the hospital shall have an opportunity, before the court enters an order granting injunctive relief, to present evidence to the court that an imminent threat of harm does not exist or has been remedied. (C)(1) If the director determines that an imminent threat of harm exists at a licensed hospital and elects not to immediately seek injunctive relief under division (B) of this section, the director may give written notice of proposed action to the hospital.

(D) On finding that the imminent threat of harm for which injunctive relief was granted under division (B) of this section has been eliminated and that the hospital has demonstrated the capacity to prevent the imminent threat of harm from recurring, the court shall lift the injunctive relief. If the imminent threat of harm cannot be eliminated practicably within a reasonable time, the court may order the hospital to close, transfer all patients to other hospitals or other appropriate care settings, or suspend a service.

(G) Establishing procedures ensuring that all information entitled to protection as trade secrets disclosed to the director or the director's authorized representative is not disclosed without the consent of the owner, except that such information may be disclosed, upon request, to authorized representatives of the United States environmental protection agency, or as required by law. As used in this section, "trade secrets" means any formula, plan, pattern, process, tool, mechanism, compound, procedure, production date, or compilation of information that is not patented, that is known only to certain individuals within a commercial concern who are using it to fabricate, produce, or compound an article, trade, or service having commercial value, and that gives its user an opportunity to obtain a business advantage over competitors who do not know or use it. (H) Prohibiting the disposal of specified hazardous wastes in this state if the director has determined both of the following: (1) The potential impacts on human health or safety or the environment are such that disposal of those wastes should not be allowed. (2) A technically feasible and environmentally sound alternative is reasonably available, either within or outside this state, for processing, recycling, fixation of, neutralization of, or other treatment of those wastes. Such reasonable availability shall not be determined without a consideration of the costs to the generator of implementing the alternatives. The director shall adopt, and may amend, suspend, or rescind, rules to specify hazardous wastes that shall not be disposed of in accordance with this division. Nothing in this division, either prior to or after adoption of those rules, shall preclude the director from prohibiting the disposal of specified hazardous wastes at particular facilities under the terms or conditions of a permit or by order.

(b) In adopting such more stringent rules, the director shall give consideration to and base the rules on evidence concerning factors including, but not limited to, the following insofar as pertinent: (i) Geography of the state; (ii) Geology of the state; (iii) Hydrogeology of the state; (iv) Climate of the state; (v) Engineering and technical feasibility; (vi) Availability of alternative technologies or methods of storage, treatment, or disposal. (2) The director may require from generators and transporters of hazardous waste and from owners or operators of treatment, storage, or disposal facilities, the submission of reports in addition to those required under regulations adopted under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act to the extent that such reports contain information that the generator, transporter, or facility owner or operator is required to obtain in order to comply with the regulations adopted by the administrator of the United States environmental protection agency under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act or to the extent that such reports are required by the director to meet the requirements of division (B)(7), (D)(9), or (H) of this section or section 3734.121 of the Revised Code. (J) Governing the storage, treatment, or disposal of hazardous waste in, and the permitting, design, construction, operation, monitoring, inspection, closure, and post-closure care of, hazardous waste underground injection wells, surface impoundments, waste piles other than those composed of materials removed from the ground as part of coal or mineral extraction or cleaning processes, land treatment facilities, thermal treatment facilities, and landfills that may be more stringent than the regulations adopted under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act whenever the director reasonably determines that federal regulations will not adequately protect the public health or safety or the environment of this state with respect to the subject matter of the more stringent rules. Such more stringent rules shall be developed to achieve a degree of protection, as determined by the director, consistent with the degree of hazard potentially posed by the various wastes or categories of wastes to be treated, stored, or disposed of and the types of facilities at which they are to be treated, stored, or disposed of. In adopting such more stringent rules, the director shall give consideration to and base the rules on evidence concerning factors including, but not limited to, the following insofar as pertinent: (1) Geography of the state; (2) Geology of the state; (3) Hydrogeology of the state; (4) Climate of the state; (5) Engineering and technical feasibility; (6) Availability of alternative technologies or methods of storage, treatment, or disposal.
