(a) Installation Permit Required. No person shall construct, install, reconstruct or alter any incinerator or control apparatus pertaining thereto or operate or permit to be operated an existing incinerator until an application, including not less than two (2) sets of properly prepared plans and specifications of the incinerator or control apparatus, and structures or buildings used directly in connection therewith have been filed by the person or his agent in the office of, and have been approved by, the Division of Building and until an installation permit has been issued by the Division of Building for such construction, installation, reconstruction or alteration, or such existing incinerator.
Such plans and specifications shall show the form and dimensions of the incinerator or control apparatus, together with the description and dimensions of the building or part thereof in which such equipment is to be located, including: the means provided for admitting the air combustion processes; the character and composition of the auxiliary fuel to be used; the expected air contaminant emission rate; the operating requirements; the use to be made of such incinerator or control apparatus; contaminant concentration, gas volume, and gas temperature at the emission point; physical characteristics of particulates emitted; the location and elevation of the emission point relative to structures and window openings within three hundred (300) feet of the point of emission; and any other reasonable and pertinent information that may be required by the Division of Building. The Division shall issue a permit only if it determines from the plans and specifications, and in the case of a new incinerator from the certification of the Director contemplated by Section 1373.02(a)(1), that the proposed construction, installation, reconstruction or alteration complies with this Chapter, and after securing a certification in writing from the manufacturer that such installation, as manufactured and as recommended to be installed, complies with this Chapter. Failure to comply with any requests for reasonable and pertinent information made by the Division of Building shall be cause for rejection of an application.
(b) Action on Permit Applications. Approval of the application for an installation permit may, at the discretion of the Division, include a condition requiring emission tests to be made upon completion of the installation for which the permit has been issued, to establish compliance with the emission limitations of this Chapter. Upon the approval of the application and upon the payment of the prescribed fees, the Division shall issue a permit for the construction, reconstruction, installation or alteration of such incinerator or control apparatus, or for an existing incinerator.
(c) Applicability of the Permit. No construction, installation, reconstruction or alteration shall be made which is not in strict accordance with the plans, specifications and other pertinent information upon which the installation permit was issued.
(d) Permit Violation. Violation of the installation permit shall be sufficient cause for the Division of Building to stop all work in connection with such permit, and it is hereby authorized to seal the installation without notice. No further work shall be done until the Division is assured that the condition in question shall be corrected and that the work shall proceed in accordance with the installation permit.
(e) Fees. Fees for the examination of applications for the issuance of installation permits, and for the original inspection and certificate of operation, shall be as follows:
Installation Permit and Certificate of Operation

20.00 |
Over 50 cubic feet but less than 100 cubic feet |

(f) Time Limit on Permits. If construction, reconstruction, installation or alteration is not begun within three (3) months nor completed within six (6) months from the date of the issuance of the installation permit, such permit shall automatically become void and all fees paid shall be forfeited unless an extension of time is granted, for good cause shown, by the Board of Building and Zoning Appeals.(Ord. 42-72. Passed 5-22-72.)
