Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 38 Sec. 1310-T
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Disposal: means the discharge, deposit, dumping, spilling, leaking or placing of hazardous, biomedical or solid waste, waste oil, refuse-derived fuel, sludge or septage into or on land, air or water and the incineration of solid waste, refuse-derived fuel, sludge or septage so that the hazardous, biomedical or solid waste, waste oil, refuse-derived fuel, sludge or septage or a constituent of the hazardous, biomedical or solid waste, waste oil, refuse-derived fuel, sludge or septage may enter the environment or be emitted into the air, or discharged into waters, including ground waters. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 38 Sec. 1303-C
- Solid waste: means useless, unwanted or discarded solid material with insufficient liquid content to be free-flowing, including, but not limited to, rubbish, garbage, refuse-derived fuel, scrap materials, junk, refuse, inert fill material and landscape refuse, but does not include hazardous waste, biomedical waste, septage or agricultural wastes. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 38 Sec. 1303-C
In addition to any fees imposed pursuant to section 352, the applicant shall pay a fee of $50,000 at the time of filing an application for a solid waste disposal facility. An application is considered incomplete and the department shall defer any review or processing of the application until the applicant has paid the full $50,000 fee. The fee must be deposited in the Maine Environmental Protection Fund and used only to make reimbursements and grants to the intervenor in the applicant’s license proceedings pursuant to section 1310?S. The applicant releases all control over this money and does not retain any rights to audit the spending of these funds once the fee has been deposited in the Maine Environmental Protection Fund. Any portion of the fee not disbursed by the department for these purposes is reimbursed to the applicant, together with any interest that may have accrued on that portion. Upon request, the commissioner shall provide an audit report to the applicant after all the application and appeal proceedings before the department have concluded.
