Solid Waste Processing Facility Permits

Following are the general conditions for the solid waste processing facility permits available on this page.
1. Any of the following permits shall not release the permittee from any liability or obligation imposed by Kansas Statutes or Johnson County resolutions and/or the Johnson County Solid Waste Management Plan and shall remain in force subject to all conditions and limitations now or hereafter imposed by law. The permit shall be permissive only and shall not be construed as estopping or limiting any claims against the permittee for damage or injury to person or property, or to any waters of the Statue resulting from any acts, operations, or omissions of the permittee, its agents, contractors, or assigns, nor as estopping or limiting any legal claim of the State or County against the permittee, its agents, contractors, or assigns, for damage to County property, or for any violation of the terms or conditions of the permit.
2. The use of the solid waste system shall be limited to the description of the waste materials or substances described in the plans and/or permit application or associated material on file with the County.
3. The permit is subject to modification and may be suspended at any time for failure to comply with the terms stated herein or provision of any other applicable regulations or standards of the County or its predecessors.
4. The permit is issued with the understanding that the stated conditions are explanatory and are not limiting so as to estop subsequent establishment of appropriate additional clauses herein at the discretion of the County if it is considered necessary in order to prevent or reduce possible pollution of the environment because of changed or unforeseen circumstances.
5. The permittee or assigns shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Johnson County, its officers, agents, and employees officially or personally against all actions, claims, demands whatsoever which may arise from or on account of the issuance of this permit or the construction or maintenance of any facilities hereunder.
6. The permit is not transferable. The permittee agrees to notify the County in writing prior to making any change in ownership or operating lease or contract responsibility at least thirty (30) days in advance of the date of transfer.
