(A) Issuance of sewer extension approvals shall be initiated by an application for construction permit. The application shall be made on the forms provided by the IEPA, shall be fully completed by the applicable persons or parties, and shall be accompanied by a set of construction plans, specifications and any other information as may be required by the village, SCWRD and IEPA.
(B) Construction plans and specifications shall be prepared by a licensed professional engineer in the state and approval thereof must be obtained from the village, SCWRD and IEPA.
(C) If the application is in proper form, and the sewer extension indicated therein appears to be in accordance with this chapter and all state and federal requirements, the village shall execute the application for permit. If otherwise, the application for permit shall be denied by the village. There shall be no fee charged for the sewer extension application for permit.
(D) If the application is denied by the village, it shall state the reason or reasons therefor in writing, mailed or personally delivered to the applicant. The applicant shall have the right to amend such application in conformity with the reasons given for denial, and resubmit it to the village for further consideration.
(E) Sanitary sewer permits issued by IEPA typically expire two years from the date of the permit. The applicant shall have two years or the time frame as dictated by IEPA to construct the sanitary sewer. Any sewer not constructed prior to the date of expiration shall have a new application submitted, approved and a permit issued by IEPA prior to construction, unless an extension is granted by the IEPA.
(F) The applicant for the permit shall furnish a corporate surety bond in an amount one and one-half times the cost of the contemplated work for which the permit is to be issued.
