[Adopted by Ord. No. O-92-10 (Ch. XXX of
the 1974 Code)]
The purpose of this article is to protect the
environment and public health by prohibiting unplanned and inappropriate
disposal of solid waste in the Township of Howell.
The Township Council of the Township of Howell
finds based upon the reports of PMK and T&M Associates and the
Monmouth County Health Department groundwater monitoring results at
the W.M.I. landfill that the additional disposal of solid waste threatens
both the natural resources and public health and safety. In addition,
the Township Council has found that the Board of Chosen Freeholders
of Monmouth County has the legal authority to permit or prevent solid
waste disposal within any Township within Monmouth County.
The disposal of solid waste anywhere within
the Township of Howell shall be prohibited unless such activity has
been duly authorized by the Board of Chosen Freeholders of Monmouth
County.
