§ 15-34. Approval of plans, specifications, etc.  


Latest version.
  • It shall be unlawful for any persons, firms, corporations, companies, institutions, municipalities or communities to install, extend or alter any air or water pollution prevention facility and its related appurtenance for use in the county without first having received written approval of the plans, specifications and other related material from the environmental protection officer subject to the approval of the board of county commissioners. The commission shall adopt the minimum standards to be required for approval by the environmental protection officer. These standards shall be equal to or more stringent than existing statutory rules and regulations as set forth by other federal, state or Orange County agencies. The approval by the environmental protection officer is not to be construed as superseding other state or Orange County approvals which by law are now or will in the future be necessary prior to construction of any new or altered air or water pollution control device. These standards shall be made available to all interested persons upon request to the commission or environmental protection officer; provided, however, that the provisions of this section shall not be applicable to wastewater facilities with an average flow of less than one thousand two hundred (1,200) gallons per day.
