Section 13.03A.0311 Permit Transfer [3.11]
  1. Upon written approval of the Plant Manager, discharge permits may be transferred to a new owner or operator. An applicant must give at least thirty days advance notice to the Plant Manager. Applications must be filed with the Plant Manager, upon such forms and with such information as required by the Plant Manager, signed by an authorized representative and certified as provided in SMC 13.03A.0305(B), and include the fee as provided in SMC 13.03A.1401.
  1. Applications must include a written statement by an authorized representative of the transferee, signed under penalty of perjury of the laws of the State of Washington or the state of residence of the signatory which:
    1. states that the transferee applicant has no plans to change the facility’s operations and processes;
    1. acknowledges the obligation to apply for a discharge permit modification in writing should any such change be planned prior to implementing such change;
    1. identifies the specific date on which the transfer is requested to occur; and
    1. acknowledges full responsibility for complying with the existing discharge permit;
    1. permit modification requests must address changes in slug control plans and industrial stormwater.
  1. If there are no changes in the facility, operation, or discharge and proper advance notice was given, the Plant Manager may consider the transferee as an existing user upon satisfaction of the conditions of this section. If a transfer request is not submitted as required, the permit expires and a new application must be made. The Plant Manager may impose any temporary conditions on continuing discharge of permit expiring under this provision until a new permit is obtained.
