The Energy and Environment Cabinet shall not revoke, refuse to issue or refuse to renew permits to operators of solid waste disposal sites or facilities solely because the operator uses an incinerator for disposing of solid waste material. Provided, however, that the cabinet shall be empowered to revoke, refuse to issue or refuse to renew solid waste disposal permits if the operator has not complied with its regulations relating to permits to use incinerators, refuse burners and open burning. This section shall not prevent the cabinet from revoking, refusing to issue or refusing to renew solid waste disposal permits due to the use of incinerators, refuse burning and open burning which it has not authorized.
