303.90 WASTE HANDLING FACILITY: Any and all structures, combination of structures, underfloor pits, holding ponds, debris basins, diversion terraces, liquid manure storage pits, lagoons, above ground pipelines, irrigation devices, or appurtenance thereto, apparatus, equipment, or mechanism, whether on the same or different premises than the industrial, commercial or other type of use, including any confined and intensive animal feeding use generating waste, used to hold, store, process, digest, transport, distribute, control or otherwise dispose of waste materials, other than solid waste as defined in Section 303.83 of this Resolution.

Waste handling facilities shall be categorized with regard to the types of such facilities and the methods of operation of such facilities as they relate to the potential for odor production, environmental degradation and compatibility with abutting and neighboring land uses as follows:
Category A (aerobic): A waste handling facility use in which:
1. all waste is collected, processed or digested utilizing aerobic digestion facilities and
processes, including aerobic lagoons, and/or aerobic composting and in which there is surface application of solid manure and / surface application or injection of liquid manure, liquid waste or waste water onto / into the soil on crop or other land, and
2. dust, hazardous gases, odor or other air contaminants emitted from any building or
facility are collected and processed to minimize air contamination, and
3. dust, hazardous gases, or other air contaminants emitted from any open-sided buildings or open pens are controlled in a reasonable manner in order to minimize blowing of dust and odor onto abutting and neighboring properties.
Category ANC (covered anaerobic): A waste handling facility in which:
1. all waste is collected and digested utilizing anaerobic digestion facilities and processes including anaerobic lagoons and holding basins, pits or above ground tanks, which are covered and the gases generated by the digestion of said waste are collected and treated to avoid explosion, fire hazards and the generation of odor, and in which there is surface application of solid manure or injection of liquid (non-solid) manure into the soil on crop or other land, and
2. dust, hazardous gases, odor, or other air contaminants emitted from any building or facility are collected and processed to minimize air contamination, and
