TITLE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 12 OF TITLE IV OF THE PUEBLO
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL SITES AND
FACILITIES
ISSUE
Should City Council amend the City's regulations to allow disposal of non-
hazardous waste generated on -site to be disposed on -site in compliance with
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment regulations without
requiring a Certificate of Designation?
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND
Section 2, Chapter 12, Title IV, Pueblo Municipal Code, a portion of the chapter
that governs solid waste disposal sites and facilities in the City of Pueblo,
currently requires any person operating a solid waste disposal site or facility
within the City to obtain a Certificate of Designation. This could be construed to
include on -site disposal of non - hazardous solid waste generated on -site that
complies with the appropriate Colorado Department of Health and Environmental
solid waste regulations. This amendment is designed to align this section of the
Pueblo Municipal Code with the exemption set forth in 30 -20- 102(3), C.R.S. while
still requiring a Special Use Permit and any other applicable Colorado State and
City of Pueblo permits or licenses.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
