(A) It is unlawful to operate an incinerator within the city for the burning of garbage or refuse unless each incinerator complies with the requirements of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. An incinerator, except for an incinerator for a residential dwelling unit, must not be operated within the city unless the operation of the incinerator has been licensed by the city as provided in this section or in other applicable city ordinances.
(B) Applications for an incinerator license must be made to the Clerk. The application must state the name and address of the owner of the property on which the incinerator is located, a description of the type of incinerator, and except in renewal applications, a plan showing that the incinerator will comply with applicable rules and regulations.
(C) The application must be accompanied by the required license fee.
(D) Application for incinerator licenses may be granted by the City Clerk if the City Clerk ascertains that the incinerator meets the requirements of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the ordinances of the city. The City Clerk may, however, refer any such application to the Council. In the event of such referral to the Council the Council may grant or deny the application. It is grounds for denial of the application that the applicant, or other persons occupying the premises at which the incinerator is or would be located, have not complied with regulations of the city relating to health, safety, building or zoning regulations applicable to such incinerator.
(E) The license expires on the last day of December of each year.
