15.14.047 Wastewater discharge permit – Transfer.
A. Wastewater discharge permits are issued to a specific user for a specific operation and are not assignable to another user without the prior written approval of the director and are not transferable to any other location.
B. Wastewater discharge permits may be reassigned or transferred to a new owner and/or operator only if the permittee gives at least 90 days’ advance notice to the director and the director approves the wastewater discharge permit transfer. The notice to the director must include a written certification by the new owner and/or operator that:
1. States that the new owner and/or operator have no immediate intent to change the facility’s operations and processes;
2. Identifies the specific date on which the transfer is to occur; and
3. Acknowledges and accepts full responsibility for complying with the existing wastewater discharge permit.
C. Provided, that the above occurs and that there were no significant changes to the manufacturing operation or wastewater discharge, the new owner will be considered an existing user and be covered by the existing limits and requirements in the previous owner’s discharge permit. Failure to provide advance notice of a transfer renders the wastewater discharge permit voidable as of the date of facility transfer. [Ord. 2020-07-016 § 1; Ord. 2019-11-032 § 1].
