64.1. In the case where a regulation was made under paragraph e of section 70 for a part of the Québec territory, a municipality or a person may apply to the Deputy Minister to fix the rates exacted by the operator of any site for elimination of waste situated in the territory contemplated by that regulation.
The Deputy Minister may, where an application for fixing rates is referred to him, establish fixed rates or minimum or maximum rates. He may also, for reasons of public interest, refuse to fix rates.
In the case where the Deputy Minister has fixed those rates, the operator shall not collect rates other than those that have been fixed.
Every change of costs as a result of such rates shall be paid by or credited to the municipality or person producing the waste.
Every contract between a municipality and a person for the removal, transportation or elimination of waste in a territory contemplated in the first paragraph must indicate separately the rate for elimination of waste.
