				two-year mandatory maintenance period, the installer shall be responsible for
				the following:
(1) repairing, adjusting or
				replacing any broken or malfunctioning parts;
(2) when spray dispersal is used, testing and

				once every six (6) months;
(3)
				measuring and recording the depth of the sludge in the trash tank at least once
				every six (6) months;
(4) measuring
				and recording the volume of the sludge in forced-air aerobic treatment units at
				least once every six (6) months;
(5) when pump tanks are used, conducting a
				clarity test and recording the results as passing or failing once every six (6)
				months. A passing clarity test is one where an eight-inch disk with alternating
				black and white quadrants is visible when placed on the bottom of the pump tank
				when the tank is at least one-third (1/3) full;
(6) notifying the owner of the system in

Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
To assist in meeting rising costs to DEQ associated with the
				  on-site sewage program, the fees set out in Subchapter 23 shall be
				  automatically adjusted on July 1, 2013, and every year thereafter on July 1 
				  st, to correspond to the percentage,
				  if any, by which the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the most recent calendar
				  year exceeds the CPI for the previous calendar year. DEQ may round the adjusted
				  fees up to the nearest dollar. DEQ may waive collection of an automatic
				  increase in a given year if it determines other revenues, including
				  appropriated state general revenue funds, have increased sufficiently to make
				  the funds generated by the automatic adjustment unnecessary in that year. A
				  waiver does not affect future automatic adjustments.
(1) Any automatic fee adjustment under this
				subsection may be averted or eliminated, or the adjustment percentage may be
				modified, by rule promulgated pursuant to the Oklahoma Administrative
				Procedures Act. The rulemaking process may be initiated in any manner provided
				by law, including a petition for rulemaking pursuant to 75 O.S. Section 305 and
				OAC
				252:4-5-3
				by any person affected by the automatic fee adjustment.
(2) If the United States Department of Labor
				ceases to publish the CPI or revises the methodology or base years, no further
				automatic fee adjustments shall occur until a new automatic fee adjustment rule
				is promulgated pursuant to the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures
				Act.
(3) For purposes of this
				subsection, "Consumer Price Index"or "CPI" means the Consumer Price Index - All
				Urban Consumers (U.S. All Items, Current Series, 1982-1984=100, CUUR0000SA0)
				published by the United States Department of Labor. The CPI for a calendar year
				is the figure denoted by the Department of Labor as the "Annual" index figure
				for that calendar year.
