(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the general statutes, the council shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the siting of facilities subject to the provisions of this chapter. In ruling on applications for certificates for facilities, the council shall give such consideration to other state laws and municipal ordinances and regulations as it shall deem appropriate. Whenever the council issues a certificate of public safety and necessity pursuant to this chapter, such certificate shall satisfy and be in lieu of all other certificates, licenses, permits or approvals, or other requirements of state or municipal agencies in regard to any question of public safety and necessity.
(b) A proposed hazardous waste facility may be regulated and restricted by any town, city or borough pursuant to chapters 124 and 126 and by any municipality pursuant to sections 22a-42 and 22a-42a. The applicant shall apply for any permits required by such agencies at the same time as the filing of the application with the council. Such local bodies may make all decisions necessary to the exercise of such power to regulate and restrict, which decisions shall be made within one hundred thirty days of any application notwithstanding any other statute to the contrary and shall be in writing and recorded in the records of their respective communities, and written notice of any decision shall be given to each party affected thereby. Each such decision shall be subject to the right of appeal within thirty days after the giving of such notice by any party aggrieved to the council, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction, in the course of any proceeding on an application for a certificate or otherwise, to affirm, modify or revoke such order to make any decision in substitution thereof by a vote of eight of the members of the council. Appeal of a local zoning decision to the council shall be in lieu of any other appeal authorized by the general statutes.
