However, the exemption set forth in this paragraph (3) of this subsection (c) shall not apply to general construction or demolition debris recovery facilities as defined in subsection (a-1) of Section 3.160.(4) Non-hazardous solid waste that is received at a     sanitary landfill and composted or recycled through a process permitted by the Agency.(5) Any landfill that is permitted by the Agency to     receive only demolition or construction debris or landscape waste.(d) The Agency shall establish rules relating to the collection of the  fees authorized by this Section.  These rules shall include, but not be  limited to the following:(1) Necessary records identifying the quantities of     solid waste received or disposed.(2) The form and submission of reports to accompany     the payment of fees to the Agency.(3) The time and manner of payment of fees to the     Agency, which payments shall not be more often than quarterly.(4) Procedures setting forth criteria establishing     when an owner or operator may measure by weight or volume during any given quarter or other fee payment period.(e) Fees collected under this Section shall be in addition to any other fees  collected under any other Section.(f) The Agency shall not refund any fee paid to it under this Section.(g) Pursuant to appropriation, all moneys in the Subtitle D Management  Fund shall be used by the Agency to administer the United States Environmental  Protection Agency's Subtitle D Program provided in Sections 4004 and 4010 of  the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-580) as it relates  to a municipal solid waste landfill program in Illinois and to fund a  delegation of inspecting, investigating, and enforcement functions, within the  municipality only, pursuant to subsection (r) of Section 4 of this Act to a  municipality having a population of more than 1,000,000 inhabitants.
