§ 26.50.260. Transfer.

A.

Wastewater discharge permits are issued to a specific user for a specific operation and are not assignable to another user or transferable to any other location without the prior written approval of the utility. Sale of a source shall obligate the purchaser to seek prior written approval of the utility for continued discharge to the municipal sewerage system.

B.

Wastewater discharge permits may be reassigned or transferred to a new owner and/or operator only if the permittee gives at least 60 days notice to the general manager and the general manager approves the wastewater discharge permit transfer. The notice to the general manager must include a written certification by the new owner and/or operator which:

1.

States that the new owner and/or operator has no immediate intent to change the facility's operations and processes;

2.

Identifies the specific date on which the transfer is to occur; and a point of contact for the permittee as of the date of transfer.

3.

Acknowledges full responsibility for complying with the existing wastewater discharge permit.

C.

Failure to provide advance notice of a transfer renders the wastewater discharge permit voidable as of the date of facility transfer.

D.

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 permit.
