§ 37-146. Criteria for permit issuance or denial.

(a)

A permit may be issued to the applicant upon such conditions as the board of county commissioners may direct, only if the applicant affirmatively demonstrates to the board of county commissioners with reasonable assurances based upon plans, test results and other information, that the construction, expansion, modification, and operation of the water or wastewater facilities will not adversely affect the public interest, violate any provision of these rules, be inconsistent with the county comprehensive policy plan, or be inconsistent with all or any portion of either the county water system capital improvements program or the county wastewater system capital improvements program.

(b)

When the application for permit is found deficient in any respect, or the required information has not been submitted to the director, the application shall not be accepted. The director shall notify the applicant in writing of the deficiencies or lacking information and allow a reasonable time for corrections or submittal of the necessary information.

(c)

If, after review of the application and all the information the board of county commissioners determines that the construction, modification, expansion, or operation of the water or wastewater facilities will not provide the reasonable assurances required pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, the board of county commissioners shall deny the permit.

(d)

The issuance of a utility facility permit does not relieve any person from complying with these rules.
