				health authority an application on a form prescribed, prepared and furnished by

				necessary to amend the permit. A permit must be amended before using a vehicle
				which is not listed on the application and before changing a point of
				discharge.
2. The application for
				this permit must contain the following information:
(a) The area to be served.
(b) The type of waste to be hauled.
(c) The exact location of all discharge sites
				and type of waste to be discharged at each location. The application must

				states that the operating authority will accept the waste to be removed and
				disposed of by the applicant at the discharge site.
(d) The license number, vehicle
				identification number, make, model, year and color of each vehicle which the
				holder of a permit intends to use to remove or dispose of solid and liquid
				contents of septic tanks, holding tanks, grease traps, grease interceptors,

				of the vehicle is changed, the applicant or the holder of the permit, as
				appropriate, shall forthwith notify the health authority in writing of the
				change.
(e) The capacity of each
				vehicle to be listed on the permit.
(f) The location where each vehicle will be

				personnel is made, the applicant or holder of a permit, as appropriate, shall
				submit written notification of the change to the health authority.
(h) A description of each tank which is not
				physically affixed to a vehicle and which will be used to remove, dispose of or

				color of each tank.

				signed by the applicant that all waste material collected will be disposed of
				in accordance with the provisions of NAC 444.750 to 444.8396, inclusive, and
				that such waste will not be discharged to any waterway or sewer nor deposited
				on any land, including privately owned land, without the prior approval of the
				health authority or the Division of Environmental Protection of the State
				Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, as appropriate.
(j) Evidence satisfactory to the health
				authority that the applicant is of reputable and responsible character. If the

				registration issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles for each vehicle to be
				used by the septic tank pumping contractor to remove and dispose of the solid
				and liquid contents of septic tanks, holding tanks, grease traps, grease
				interceptors, portable toilets or other sewage treatment or disposal
				facilities. Upon the request of the health authority, an applicant shall
				include in an application the original or a certified copy of the state
				registration or bill of sale, or both, for each vehicle listed on the
				application. If, while an application is pending, the ownership of a vehicle
				listed on the application changes, the applicant shall forthwith provide the
				health authority with documentation of the change. If a change in the ownership
				of the vehicle changes after a permit has been issued, the holder of the permit
				shall, not later than 2 weeks after the date on which the change occurred,
				provide to the health authority documentation of the change. If the applicant
				is not the registered owner of a vehicle, the applicant shall submit
				documentation of his or her authority to use the vehicle.
