§ 153.09 ABANDONMENT OF TOWER.
   (A)   Required registration and post construction monitoring. All providers utilizing WTF shall present an annual registration report to Chief Zoning Administrator notifying him of each WTF located in the municipality per the requirements of Chapter 702, Business Regulations. This registration will acknowledge whether the provider will discontinue use of the WTF in the upcoming year and the date this use will cease. A report showing compliance with FCC guidelines on electromagnetic radiation emissions shall also be submitted with this registration. Such reports shall be filed with the Municipal Manager 30 days prior to the cessation date.
   (B)   Procedures for abandonment. If at any time the use of the WTF is discontinued or the renewal of the annual registration has lapsed for 180 days, the Municipal Manager or Zoning inspector may declare the facility abandoned. The 180 day period excludes any dormancy period between construction and the initial use of the facility. If reactivation or dismantling does not occur, the municipality will either remove the facility or will contract to have the facility removed and assess the owner or operator the costs.
