A.
Upon the effective date of this subsection, all users
that submit a sewer connection application, a request for a temporary
permit or a request for a letter of authorization shall pay an application
fee to the PVSC. This fee will offset, in whole or in part, the administrative
costs incurred by the PVSC to review the application or request. If
a determination is made that a permit of any type is not required,
a portion of the application fee shall be refunded to the user. The
PVSC may by resolution revise the schedule of fees to be paid and
refunded.
B.
Upon the effective date of this subsection, all users
that are issued a permit of any type shall pay a permit fee to the
PVSC. This fee will offset, in whole or in part, the administrative
costs incurred by the PVSC to monitor the permittee's compliance with
the PVSC Rules and Regulations, as well as state and federal regulations,
from the effective date of the permit until the permit, temporary
permit or letter of authorization expires, is terminated or is revoked.
The PVSC may by resolution revise the schedule of permit fees to be
paid. A new permit fee shall be paid for each subsequent permit renewed.
The permit fee shall be due at the PVSC within ninety (90) days of
the effective date of the permit. No portion of this fee shall be
reimbursed.
C.
Each industrial user or other user of the PVSC treatment
works shall reimburse the PVSC for those costs incurred if a compliance
sample is sent to an outside laboratory for an analysis of one (1)
or more parameters which the PVSC is not certified to perform. This
reimbursement provision does not apply if the PVSC is certified to
perform the analysis but does not. This provision can be invoked no
more than two (2) times per year per parameter.
D.
Each user against whom a charge is assessed shall
remit the amount due within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice
unless specific procedures are established on a case-by-case basis.
If any provision, paragraph, word, section or
Article of these Rules and Regulations is invalidated by any court
of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions, paragraphs, words,
sections and Articles not affected shall continue in full force and
effect.
All Rules and Regulations and parts thereof
inconsistent or conflicting with any part of the Rules and Regulations
are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict.
