(1) Such information as is required by Section 923.02 and regulations adopted pursuant thereto;
(2) Such other information as the Director may reasonably require.

(c) The fees and charges to be paid by industrial users for discharge permits may be as established by ordinance, but shall be charged and apportioned by the Service Director so as to recover the costs of administration, regulation, monitoring and testing under the pretreatment program of the City, which shall include at a minimum:
(1) A fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) to be paid with each application as a condition of the issuance of the permit as and for processing, administration and general monitoring costs; and
