Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 3, July 24, 2024
(1) A person who
				applies for an individual permit to operate a disposal system shall submit
				along with the application an application fee as specified in
				64.16(3)
"b."
Certain individual facilities shall also be
				required to submit annual fees as specified in 64.16(3)
"b."
For a wastewater construction permit, an application fee must be submitted with
				the application as specified in 64.16(3)
"c."
For authorization
				under General Permits Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 5, the applicant has the option of
				paying an annual permit fee or a multiyear permit fee at the time the NOI for
				coverage is submitted as specified in 64.16(3)
"a."
For municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4s) permits and
				  individual storm water permits, as defined in
				  567-60.2 (455B), a one-time,
				  multiyear permit fee must be submitted at the time of application. For all
				  other individual non-storm water NPDES and operation permits, as defined in
				  567-60.2 (455B), the applicant
				  must submit an application fee at the time of application and the appropriate
				  annual fee on a yearly basis, except for municipal water treatment facilities.
				  If a facility needs coverage under more than one NPDES or operation permit,
				  fees for each permit must be submitted appropriately.
Fees are nontransferable. Failure to submit the appropriate
				  fee at the time of application renders the application incomplete, and the
				  department shall suspend processing of the application until the fee is
				  received. Failure to submit the appropriate annual fee may result in revocation
				  or suspension of the permit as noted in 64.3(11).
(2) Payment of fees. Fees shall be paid by
				check, credit card, electronic payment, or money order made payable to the
				"Iowa Department of Natural Resources."
For facilities needing coverage under more than one permit
				  (e.g., general, individual storm water, individual non-storm water), separate
				  payments shall be made according to the fee schedule in
				  64.16(3).
