of the disposal capacity of the Disposal System, and (3) in accordance with subsection 3.3(C) hereof, disposing of Unacceptable Waste inadvertently accepted at the Disposal System. The County, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, shall use its best efforts to keep the Olinda Alpha, Prima Deshecha and Frank R. Bowerman Landfills open for the receipt of waste for disposal or transfer of Controllable Waste pursuant to this Agreement. The County shall do and perform all acts and things which may be necessary or desirable in connection with its covenants in this subsection, including without limitation all planning, development, administration, implementation, construction, operation, maintenance, management, financing and contract work related thereto or undertaken in connection therewith. The County shall exercise all reasonable efforts to minimize the costs incurred in complying with the Service Covenant consistent with its responsibilities hereunder and under this Agreement, Applicable Law and prudent solid waste management practice and environmental considerations. (B) Particular Facilities. The Department and the City shall consult and cooperate in determining whether and to what extent from time to time other landfills other than that primarily used by the City shall be utilized to receive Controllable Waste. The Department shall immediately advise the City by telephone of any situation, event or circumstance which results in the partial or complete inability of the County to receive Controllable Waste at any particular landfill within the Disposal System, its effect on the County's ability to perform its obligations hereunder, and the County's best estimate of the probable duration. The Department shall confirm such advice in writing within 24 hours of the occurrence of any such inability. The County shall use its best efforts to resume normal operation of the landfill primarily used by the City as soon as possible. In the event of a temporary material increase in average daily deliveries of Controllable Waste from the City which the County reasonably believes could result in the permitted daily disposal capacity limit to be exceeded with respect to a particular landfill within the Disposal System, the County shall have the right to redirect the increased Controllable Waste to another landfill within the Disposal System for the duration of the increase in average daily deliveries; provided, however, that in such circumstances the County shall utilize reasonable efforts to first redirect waste which is not Controllable Waste. (C) Compliance with Service Covenant Not Excused for any Reason. Commencing on the Commencement Date, the obligations of the County to duly observe and comply with the Service Covenant shall apply continuously and without interruption for the Term of this Agreement. In the event that any Change in Law or other Uncontrollable Circumstance impairs or precludes compliance with the Service Covenant by the means or methods then being employed by the County, the County shall implement alternative or substitute means and methods to enable it to satisfy the terms and conditions of the Service Covenant. In the event that a Change in Law precludes the County from complying with such covenants with the means or methods then being employed and from utilizing any alternate or substitute means or methods of compliance, the County shall continuously use all reasonable efforts to effectuate executive, legislative or judicial change in or relief from the applicability of such law so as to enable the County lawfully to resume compliance with such covenants as soon as possible following the Change in Law. SECTION 3.3 COUNTY RIGHT TO REFUSE WASTE. (A) Right of Refusal. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the County may refuse delivery of: (1) Hazardous Waste; (2) Controllable Waste delivered at hours other than those provided in Section 3.5 hereof; (3) Waste that does not constitute Acceptable Waste; (4) Waste that is delivered by any party which has not executed a Waste Disposal Agreement; and (5) Controllable Waste consisting primarily of construction and demolition debris or inerts which may cause a particular facility's daily tonnage limit to be exceeded. 12 Execution Copy 25E-17
