A. The village administrator shall review each chemical substance storage permit application in consultation with the village engineer and within forty five (45) days of receipt of a complete permit application, the village administrator shall issue a decision as to whether the chemical substance storage permit should be issued. The reasons the village administrator may refuse to issue a chemical substance storage permit include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. The permit application is incomplete or inaccurate.
2. The proposed release prevention, containment and control plan does not meet the requirements of section 13-8-8 of this chapter or will not provide adequate protection against chemical substances coming into contact with or being absorbed into ground water or entering into the village's potable water supply system or does not adequately reduce the likelihood that an accidental release of chemical substances might occur.
3. The storage of the chemical substance for which permission to store is being sought will create an unacceptable risk to the public health if stored on the premises in the application in the manner described in the application.
If the village administrator refuses to issue the chemical substance storage permit, he shall inform the applicant in writing of the reasons the chemical substance storage permit was not issued.
B. The duration of a chemical substance storage permit shall be determined by the village administrator, provided that no chemical substance storage permit shall have a duration of more than three (3) years from the effective date of the permit. The village administrator may issue a chemical substance storage permit which has a duration of less than three (3) years if: 1) the period of time that the chemical substance will be stored on the premises described in the permit application is to be less than three (3) years; or 2) the storage of the chemical substance presents a potential hazard which requires that the premises covered by the permit be inspected or that the release prevention, containment and control plan for the premises covered by the permit be reviewed and updated more frequently than once every three (3) years.
C. A chemical substance storage permit shall include those conditions which the village administrator determines are reasonably necessary to protect against the release of the chemical substances covered by the permit. A chemical substance storage permit shall also include the following:
1. The expiration date of the permit.
2. A description of the premises for which the permit is being issued.
3. A statement that the permit is not transferable to a new permittee unless the transfer is approved as provided in section 13-8-12 of this chapter.
4. A list of the chemical substances which the permit allows to be stored on the premises described in the permit.
5. A statement that any release of a chemical substance must be reported immediately as provided in section 13-8-4 of this chapter.
6. A statement that the permit is conditioned upon compliance with the release prevention, containment and control plan.
D. There shall be no application fee for a chemical substance storage permit. (Ord. 2006-O-10, 4-4-2006)
