The streets and roads of the Borough of Baden, being generally narrow, winding and, in places, congested and not generally designed to accommodate heavy or constant truck traffic, the Borough Council may from time to time designate certain routes and/or particular streets for use by motor vehicle trucks hauling dangerous waste. The following streets are the only streets in the Borough of Baden designated at this time for transportation by truck of hospital and infectious wastes:
Pennsylvania Route 65.
No such motor vehicle truck shall exceed the load limit for any such route or road.
Trucks carrying dangerous waste within the Borough of Baden are hereby limited to 30 miles per hour on Route 65, 25 miles per hour on State Street and 25 miles per hour on Phillips Street and any other state or Borough road within the Borough of Baden that may eventually be approved for use by such trucks bearing dangerous wastes.
No motor vehicle carrying dangerous wastes shall follow within 125 feet of any other vehicle when within the Borough limits, provided that this section shall not apply to trucks following state or city police vehicles.
Motor vehicle trucks carrying dangerous wastes shall operate only during approved hours and not during the hours that citizens generally travel to or from their jobs or the schools of the area. The only allowable hours, for purposes of this section, are deemed to be from 9:00 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.
No truck carrying dangerous wastes may operate when the temperatures are below 32° F. and rain or other precipitation has occurred either within the last two hours or is expected within the next eight hours. Expectations shall be determined by reference to the official United States Weather Service forecast for the Mobile County area then current; such an expectation shall be deemed to exist if that forecast predicts over a thirty-percent possibility of such precipitation.
No truck carrying dangerous wastes may be operated during any officially designated hurricane or tornado watch or during any period where winds exceed 50 miles per hour or have exceeded 50 miles per hour at any time within the last four hours.
All trucks carrying dangerous wastes in the Borough of Baden shall operate with their headlights on at all times.
All trucks carrying dangerous wastes in the Borough of Baden shall be equipped with two-way radios capable of receiving from and transmitting to the police and other emergency vehicles operated by the Borough of Baden. Such radios shall also be capable of communicating with the Beaver County Communications Center.
Each truck hauling hazardous wastes shall carry and have available for inspection the manifest required for transportation of hazardous wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act or federal or state regulations implementing that Act. Such manifest shall be presented upon request of any Baden police officer.
Each driver shall get out of his vehicle prior to entering the Borough of Baden and conduct a careful visual inspection of the entire truck and the ground under it to determine if such truck is leaking or is in any other way damaged. This inspection shall be repeated any time such truck is stopped within the Borough of Baden for over 30 minutes.
Each driver of any such truck shall immediately report any accident or collision involving his truck to the Borough of Baden police via his two-way radio.
No driver of a motor vehicle truck hauling dangerous wastes in the Borough of Baden shall be permitted to enter the Borough of Baden with such truck unless such driver or the owner or consignor of such dangerous wastes shall first have deposited with the Borough Secretary an indemnity with limits of not less than $50,000,000 per occurrence. Such bond shall be conditioned to pay all or part of such sum as damages or restitution to the Borough of Baden unless the responsible party shall reimburse any person, firm, partnership, trust or corporation, including the Borough itself, for any damages to person, property or natural resources resulting from the hauling of such dangerous wastes or accidents or spills incident thereto in the Borough of Baden.
Any truck or vehicle carrying dangerous wastes shall comply with all Department of Environmental Resources and state regulations and laws pertaining thereto.
Except as provided for by Department of Environmental Resources regulations, the storage of dangerous wastes in one place for over 24 hours within the Borough of Baden is entirely prohibited. Storage in separate places within the Borough for a cumulative total of 48 hours or more is also prohibited.
For purposes of this chapter, all hospital waste will be presumed to contain dangerous wastes.
Any person who operates a motor vehicle truck in violation of any of the provisions of this article shall, upon conviction, be fined not less than $100 nor more than $500 and may, in addition or alternatively, be sentenced to jail for a period or term not exceeding 90 days. Such sentences may not be suspended.
Article II: Reimbursement for Abatement
[Adopted 11-15-2000 by Ord. No. 857]
Authorization to collect costs.
The Borough of Baden hereby authorizes the Baden Volunteer Fire Department to collect, either directly from the property owner or from the owner's fire insurance carrier, a reasonable sum sufficient to reimburse it for the cost of those materials utilized to combat fires and incidents involving hazardous materials and for any and all equipment damage suffered during the administration of its services.
Said reasonable sums as outlined above may be collected by the Baden Volunteer Fire Department through the Borough with consent of its Council. The Borough of Baden shall reserve the right to ask for said reimbursement where the Baden Volunteer Fire Department, in the administration of its services, suffers such losses as those specified in the prior subsection.
Upon failure to pay this sum within 30 days of billing, the Borough of Baden and its Volunteer Fire Department shall be authorized to collect reasonable interest on said sum as well as a reasonable administrative fee for collection of the same and all additional fees that may be authorized by statute, case law or common law.
In all cases where the Baden Volunteer Fire Department is indemnified by the property owner's insurance coverage, the Borough may elect to accept the amount provided for under said insurance as payment in full, even though it is less than the sum requested.
