               To the extent practical, the county encourages the reuse of materials. Construction
               and demolition materials, such as bricks, concrete and wood, may be stockpiled for
               the subsequent use or reuse of said materials. The stockpiles must not contain solid
               waste which cannot be reused. Anyone who intends to store materials for reuse, must
               treat the area that is being used to store material for reuse as an automobile graveyard
               or junkyard as defined in the Salvage Yard Ordinance Regulating the Operation and
               Maintenance of Automobile Graveyards and Junkyards in Wayne County, N.C., which was
               adopted on October 7, 1986. The plan for said area must be presented to the solid
               waste manager and the area shall be fenced as though it were an automobile graveyard
               or junkyard. The owner of the area must also present a plan to the solid waste manager
               of how any residue of the operation shall be used or disposed of. The state shall
               determine whether a person who is stockpiling for reuse needs a license pursuant to
