A jurisdiction can designate responsibilities through:

• Contracts with haulers or other private entities, or
• Agreements with other jurisdictions, entities, regional agencies (as defined in Public Resource Code section 40181), or other government agencies, including environmental health departments.

A jurisdiction cannot delegate:

• The authority to issue a waiver to a private entity [see Article 3Section 18984.11(c)] or
• The authority to impose civil penalties, or to maintain an action to impose civil penalties, to a private entity.

If a jurisdiction delegates responsibilities to a public or private entity, except responsibilities delegated to a Joint Powers Authority, it is still ultimately responsible for compliance with the requirements.
