(1) A Person wishing
						to make a direct connection to the Authority's Sewerage System, or to modify,
						reconnect, or abandon an existing connection, shall file an application for a
						Direct Connection Permit with the Authority on an application form required by
						the Authority. An application to make a direct connection shall be accompanied by
						siting plans demonstrating that the direct connection is required by special
						engineering or topographical considerations, as well as by construction plans and
						specifications stamped and signed by a professional engineer registered in
						Massachusetts. An applicant shall supplement its application with such additional
						information as the Authority may require. An application must be accompanied by a
						minimum $300 permit application charge (minimum charge calculated at six hours at
						$50.00/hour). The Authority will waive the charge for an application of a
						municipality. The Authority may waive the charge in instances in which the
						connection, modification, reconnection, or abandonment will benefit or improve
						the Authority's Sewer System, or in other circumstances in which the Authority
						determines that a waiver is in the public interest. In the event that the
						Authority's review of the application requires the expenditure of more than six
						hours, the applicant will be charged for all additional hours at the rate of
						$50.00/hour, which charge will be payable at the same time as the $200 permit
						issuance charge is due as provided in
						360 CMR
						10.083.
(2) Before filing an application with the
						Authority, the Person shall submit the completed application to the municipality
						in which the connection, modification, reconnection, or abandonment will occur.
						The municipality shall have 60 days to review and comment on the application. The
						application filed with the Authority shall be accompanied by any comments and
						recommendations made by the municipality. The municipality shall provide reasons
						for any recommendation.

							shall pay a $200 permit issuance charge to the Authority for the permit. The
							Authority will waive the charge for a permit of a municipality and may waive the
							charge if it has requested the connection, modification, reconnection, or
							abandonment. Within ten days after receiving the permit, the Person shall provide
							a copy of the permit to the municipality in which the connection will occur. The
							Authority will not issue the permit if it determines that there are no special
							engineering or topographical considerations requiring the direct connection or if
							it determines that the connection, modification, reconnection, or abandonment
							will have an actual or potential adverse impact on the Authority's Sewerage
							System or the Authority's responsibilities.
