The Enforcement Official may waive some or all of <br /> the requirements of Sections 4 or 5,as appropriate, if documentation satisfactory <br /> to the Enforcement Official is provided that compliance with the Ordinance <br /> would create a financial hardship for a Property Owner. Hardship exists when <br /> implementation of this Ordinance will increase Solid Waste collection service <br /> bills for a particular collection location by more than 30%per typical billing <br /> period as compared with the cost of Solid Waste collection services in the absence <br /> of this Ordinance and State laws requiring recycling services at Businesses and <br /> Multi-Family Buildings. Hardship also exists when the sum of the change in <br /> billing described in the previous sentence plus the amortized costs of Solid Waste <br /> enclosures or other physical modifications necessary to house additional <br /> containers collected by truck, if such construction is required by Federal, State,or <br /> Local laws or regulations, exceeds 30%of the cost of Solid Waste collection <br /> services in the absence of this Ordinance and State laws requiring recycling <br /> services at Businesses and Multi-Family Buildings. Eligible construction costs <br /> shall be amortized over an appropriate period for such costs based on Internal <br /> Revenue Service or alternative authoritative guidance or standards. The financial <br /> hardship calculation shall take into consideration the cost savings potential of <br /> decreasing Refuse or Solid Waste service levels,and opportunities to reduce Solid <br /> Waste bills through changes in service providers,when that is legal within the <br /> relevant Covered Jurisdiction(s). The Enforcement Official may require <br /> compliance with some, but not all,requirements of this Ordinance if necessary to <br /> limit the increase in eligible costs to less than 30%. <br /> (f) Unavailable Service Waiver.The Enforcement Official may waive some or all of <br /> the requirements of Sections 4 or 5,as appropriate, if documentation satisfactory . <br /> to the Enforcement Official is provided that neither separate collection for <br /> Covered Materials nor the service of a High Diversion Mixed Waste Processing <br /> Facility is available. <br /> (g) Compliance Schedule Waiver.

If a compliance schedule waiver is granted, the Waste Generator or <br /> Property Owner or Covered Jurisdiction shall demonstrate on an on-going basis <br /> its good faith efforts to comply by the compliance date(s) stated in the approved <br /> waiver. <br /> (h) Covered Materials in public litter containers(e.g.,on streets or in parks), street <br /> sweepings,or in Solid Waste collected when illegal dumping is cleaned up,are <br /> not subject to this Ordinance. <br /> 13 <br />
