A. The Board reserves the right to establish the method and manner and all other aspects by which solid waste handling services are provided within the unincorporated areas of the county, including but not limited to the hours, days and frequency of collection, means of collection and transportation, level of services, charges and fees, and nature, location, and extent of providing solid waste handling services.

B. It is the intention of the county to assure the provision of solid waste handling services within the unincorporated area of the county in accordance with this chapter, and with such rules, regulations and specifications for solid waste handling services as may be adopted by the Board, the provisions of any resolution of the Board of Supervisors, any condition and term of any collection contract, permit or license granted by the county to a collector pursuant to this chapter, and all other applicable laws.

C. A license to collect, transport and/or dispose of solid waste shall be granted on such terms and conditions as the Board shall establish in its sole discretion. In issuing any license, the county reserves the right to designate where the solid waste shall be taken for disposal and this right shall be deemed to be a condition to all licenses for solid waste services within the county, whether or not expressly set forth therein.

D. The collector authorized by any license may be required to assist the county in performing designated tasks in connection with solid waste generation studies, waste stream audits, preparation of state mandated documents and to implement measures and record keeping to achieve the county’s integrated solid waste management goals as mandated by the Act. Such assistance shall be deemed to be required as a provision of the granting of any license whether or not expressly stated in any such document.

E. All collectors shall keep records of the solid waste collected by them in Sierra County showing the amount of solid waste collected (in terms of the weight and/or volume in cubic yards) for each business and each parcel of real property serviced by the Collector, in a manner that readily identifies the amount of solid waste collected from each business and property within the county. Records shall be kept on a calendar year basis and shall be retained by each hauler for a minimum of three years. All records or summary information therefrom, as may be requested by the county, shall be provided to the county solid waste fee administrator, or such other person or office as the county may from time to time direct, on or before March 1st of each year.
