7.21.045   Operating permits.
   A.   It is unlawful to place in use an on-site disposal system constructed after December 5, 1985, until an operating permit has been obtained from the environmental officer.
   B.   The owners of existing unpermitted on-site disposal systems shall obtain an operating permit within sixty days of notice from the environmental officer. To obtain an operating permit for an existing system, the owner shall file a certificate of inspection as described in Section 7.21.050 with the environmental officer and pay a fee of eight dollars. If an existing septic tank does not meet capacity requirements at the time of application, the environmental officer shall make a notation of this deficiency on the operating permit.
   C.   If a plan of an existing on-site disposal system is not already on file with the environmental officer, the system owner shall file an as-built plan, acceptable to the environmental officer prior to the issuance of an operating permit.
