163.31804 Permits or other approval for facilities that process compost.—
(1) A local government permit or other approval for a facility that processes compost as defined in s. 576.011 may not be conditioned on a requirement to purchase additional property to expand the footprint of an existing privately owned road, but, where possible, the landowner may be required to supply turnouts for emergency vehicles. The local government may not require that additional property be purchased in order to provide such turnouts.
(2) An existing permit for a facility that processes compost as defined in s. 576.011 may not be revoked by the local government if such activity is regulated through and in compliance with applicable implemented best management practices, interim measures, or regulations adopted as rules under chapter 120 by the Department of Environmental Protection, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, or a water management district as part of a statewide or regional program.
