Fee Removed In Wastes Law In Aiken County Council
Aiken County Council approved deleting the hazard materials registration fee from a waste ordinance by a 2 to 1 vote, with J Allen Brodie and Kathy Rawls opposing. Councilwoman LaVana McKenzie led the move, arguing the measure duplicative of state and federal rules and mainly a revenue grab. The revised plan kept penalties for noncompliance and a provision to access stored materials with proper orders, while leaving other fee details and enforcement terms intact.
