§ 13:1e-28.
a. Any municipality within which a transfer station is located pursuant to an adopted
and approved district solid waste management plan shall be entitled to an annual economic
benefit to be paid or adjusted not less than quarterly in an amount established by
agreement with the owner or operator of the transfer station or by order of the Board
of Public Utilities, but not less than the equivalent of $0.50 per ton of all solid
waste accepted for transfer at the transfer station during the 1987 calendar year
and each year thereafter. The owner or operator of the transfer station shall, not less frequently than quarterly,
pay to the relevant municipality the full amount due under this subsection and each
relevant municipality is empowered to anticipate this amount for the purposes of preparing
its annual budget. For the purposes of calculating the payments, the owner or operator of the transfer
station may, subject to the prior agreement of the relevant municipality and the approval
of the Board of Public Utilities, provide the municipality with any of the following
benefits in consideration for the use of land within its municipal boundaries as the
location of a transfer station: (1) The receipt of quarterly payments of annual sums of money in lieu of taxes on
the land used for the transfer station; (2) The exemption from all fees and charges for the acceptance for transfer of solid
waste generated within its boundaries; (3) The receipt of quarterly lump sum cash payments; or (4) Any combination thereof. b. Every owner or operator of a transfer station required to make payments not less
frequently than quarterly to a municipality pursuant to subsection a. of this section
may petition the Board of Public Utilities for an increase in its tariff which reflects
these payments. The board, within 60 days of the receipt of the petition, shall issue an order that
these payments shall be passed along to the users of the transfer station as an automatic
surcharge on any tariff filed with, and recorded by, the board for the solid waste
disposal operations of the transfer station. c. In issuing any order required by this section, the Board of Public Utilities shall
be exempt from the provisions of R.S.48:2-21 .
