The Director may require that the applicant modify the materials facility plan for the purposes of:
Bring the application into compliance with law, although issuance of a license, with or without modifications, is not evidence that the application complies with the requirements of any jurisdiction.
Ensuring that the construction and operation of the yard by-product compost facility is consistent with the health and welfare of the residents of Fenton.
Prior to final approval or denial of the license, the Director shall notify the applicant of problems or changes which must be addressed by the applicant prior to approval of the materials facility plan. Within ten (10) days, or such additional time as the Director may grant, the applicant shall submit modifications to address the problems which the Director has indicated.

[R.O. 2006 §206.210; Ord. No. 2374 §1, 4-16-2001]
If the operator believes that an error has been made in the materials facility plan, such that the materials facility plan cannot be effectuated without injury to the public health or welfare, or that the materials facility plan can better be implemented by changes in provisions approved by the Director, the operator may submit a request to the Director containing the reasons for such a belief and the information required in Section 230.180 for a renewal application. The Director shall consider such a request and may modify the materials facility plan to reflect such changes if he/she determines that such changes are necessary to make or continue to make the facility comply with this Chapter or other laws, rules, regulations or ordinances, or to make or continue to make such facility operate in a manner that protects the public health or welfare.

The person wishing to operate the facility shall file an application containing the information required by Section 230.180 along with a statement that such person desires to assume the rights, duties and obligations of operation of the facility. The application shall be processed as an application under Subsection (A) of this Section. Upon issuance of the license with modifications, which modifications shall include an indication that the license is transferred to the person desiring to take over operation of the facility, such person shall become the operator of the facility; however, nothing herein shall relieve the prior operator of any liability connected with events occurring during the period in which the prior operator operated or was licensed to operate such facility.

Routine inspections shall be made during normal operational hours of the facility. Where there is a suspected hazard, entry may be made at any time.
If the Director is or becomes aware of a violation of the provisions of the materials facility plan pertaining to the construction or operation of a yard by-product compost facility or is or becomes aware of a violation of a provision of this Chapter pertaining to construction or operation of such a facility or is or becomes aware of a condition which threatens the health and welfare of the residents of the County, he/she may make a reasonable attempt to notify the operator, or owner of the premises or person in possession if there is no license, and direct such person to correct the violation within twenty-four (24) hours. In the event the operator or owner or person in possession cannot be found or refuses to correct or address the violation within twenty-four (24) hours after notice in writing by the Director, the Director may, if he/she deems it necessary in the interest of public health, enter upon the premises of the facility and, either with the equipment and employees of the operator or owner or person in possession, or with City-owned or leased equipment and City employees, do such work as is necessary to correct any condition so noticed.
