SOLID WASTE REGULATIONS - Kitsap Public Health District

(d) Identification Presumed. When the Health Officer investigates a case of unlawful
dumping and finds identification in the solid waste as described in Section
025(3)(c), or other evidence, he/she may then order the person who committed the
unlawful dumping to remove and dispose of said solid waste according to these
regulations. Following the disposal of said solid waste, the Health Officer may
order this person to present to the Health Officer a receipt from the permitted
disposal facility as proof of appropriate disposal.
(e) Lack of Identification. When the Health Officer investigates a case of unlawful
dumping and finds no identification in the solid waste, nor evidence, he/she may
then order the property owner to remove said solid waste from his/her land, and
have the solid waste disposed of according to these regulations. Where this occurs
on private land, the property owner or occupant shall be responsible for removal
and disposal. Where this occurs on public land, the appropriate governmental
agency shall be responsible for removal and disposal.
(f) Burning Prohibited. It shall be unlawful for any person to burn solid waste
including garbage or rubbish unless these materials are burned in an appropriate
permitted energy recovery or incinerator facility. The burning of land clearing
debris and the residential burning of natural vegetative matter is regulated under
Chapter 173-425 WAC, Outdoor Burning.
(g) Disposal Service Required. When a person does not dispose of solid wastes in a
manner consistent with these regulations, the Health Officer may order said person
to obtain ongoing and regularly scheduled solid waste collection service if said
person does not already have this service and if a solid waste collection service
exists or is offered in the geographic area where the person resides. Said service
shall be from a solid waste collection service holding a Solid Waste Handling
Permit issued by the Health District and necessary certificates issued by the
Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission. If said person does not have
this service and resides in a geographic area where a single solid waste collection
service operates exclusively under covenant or ordinance as required by local
government, and said service is mandatory for persons residing within the
jurisdiction of the local government, the Health Officer may schedule ongoing
regularly scheduled service for said person with this solid waste collection service.
If service is cancelled through nonpayment, it will be deemed a violation of this
paragraph.
(h) Disposal Receipts Required. Any person in violation of this paragraph to whom a
notice and order to correct violation has been issued is required to produce receipts
from a permitted solid waste disposal, recycling and/or reclamation facility or
solid waste transporter to demonstrate compliance with the notice and order to
correct violation issued by the Health District.
