§ 48:13a-7.
a. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, rule or regulation, court decision
or order of the Board of Public Utilities or department to the contrary, the solid
waste disposal rates collected by a privately-owned sanitary landfill facility shall
be deemed just and reasonable for the purposes of section 8 of P.L.1970, c. 40 ( C.48:13A-7 ) if those rates are market-based rates. b. The solid waste disposal rates collected by a privately-owned sanitary landfill
facility which exceed the market-based rates authorized pursuant to subsection a.
of this section shall not be deemed unjust and unreasonable if the solid waste disposal
rates are designed to: (1) stabilize incoming waste flows and prevent the premature
exhaustion of landfill capacity; or (2) recover sufficient revenues to meet the revenue
requirements of the privately-owned sanitary landfill facility. c. The internal cost of service or financial condition of a privately-owned sanitary
landfill facility shall be deemed relevant only if the owner or operator of the affected
facility raises a revenue requirement defense in a contested case proceeding initiated
by the department pursuant to section 8 of P.L.2003, c.169 ( C.48:13A-7.31 ). In such a case, the owner or operator of the privately-owned sanitary landfill facility,
at the owner's sole discretion, may establish a reasonable profit margin using either
the return on rate base or operating margin methodology, or any alternative methodology
which is consistent with market practices.
