A. No person shall handle any quantity of hazardous material or waste subject to disclosure under Section 15.12.050, without obtaining all necessary permits and registrations from the hazardous materials manager. All applications for permits or registrations required by this title shall be upon forms furnished by the hazardous materials manager. Each application shall provide the owner’s and/or operator’s name and address, the designated place, purpose or object to which the permit or registration shall apply, and such additional information as the hazardous materials manager may consider necessary to determine compliance with this title. All applications for registrations and permits shall contain at least the disclosure information required by Section 15.12.040, and shall be accompanied by all plans or specifications required by this title. Applicants for additional registrations or permits shall provide the following additional information:

B. No person shall construct or destroy a well subject to this title, or a borehole more than three feet deep, without obtaining a permit from the hazardous materials manager.

C. Upon receipt of a completed application for a permit or a registration, the hazardous materials manager shall make the necessary review, investigation or inspection of the application, applicant, plans, specifications, existing or proposed place, operation or object to determine whether they will meet the requirements of this title. The hazardous materials manager may refer the application to such other governmental agencies as the hazardous materials manager determines may be necessary to determine whether there will be compliance with other applicable laws.

D. If the hazardous materials manager finds that the applicant, place, operation, purpose or object will comply with the requirements of this title, and the place, operation, or object will be conducted in such a manner as to accomplish the objectives and purposes of all applicable laws, and all fees are paid in full, then the hazardous materials manager shall issue a permit or registration, subject to such reasonable conditions and limitations as are required under the circumstances.

E. Permits and registrations are not transferable. Any permit or registration issued to a particular person or for a designated place, operation, purpose or object shall not be valid for use by or for any other person, place, operation, purpose or object.

F. The issuance or granting of a permit or registration, or the approval of plans and specifications, by the hazardous materials manager shall not be construed to be a permit or registration for, or an approval of, any violation of this title or other applicable laws, nor to relieve the applicant from any liability for any other permit, registration or other approval required by other applicable laws.

G. The approval of plans and specifications shall not prevent the hazardous materials manager from thereafter requiring the correction of errors in such plans and specifications, or from preventing installation and construction operations being carried out thereunder when in violation of this title.

H. Every permit or registration issued under this title shall expire as indicated on the permit, or as otherwise provided by the hazardous materials manager, unless sooner suspended or revoked by the hazardous materials manager.

Before the work authorized by such prior approval shall be commenced or continued, a new approval shall be obtained as provided in this title.
