A. The schedule of fees is to be adopted by resolution of the board of supervisors.

B. Filing Fee. Every applicant, except any state or local governmental agency or public district, for an authority to construct or a permit to operate any article, machine, equipment, or other contrivance, for which an authority to construct or a permit to operate is required by the rules and regulations of the air pollution control district, shall pay a filing fee established by resolution of the board of supervisors. Where an application is filed for a permit to operate any article, machine, equipment, or other contrivance by reason of transfer from one person to another, and where a permit to operate had previously been granted under Section 16.04.070 and no alteration, addition or transfer of location has been made, the applicant shall pay only the filing fee. (Ord. 325 Rule 3.3(A), 1972)

An applicant for a permit to operate shall pay in addition to the filing fee prescribed herein, the fee for the issuance of a permit to operate in the amount prescribed in the schedules established by Section 16.04.200, provided however, that the filing fee shall be applied to the fee prescribed for the issuance of the permit. (Ord. 325 Rule 3.3(B), 1972)

If an application for a permit is cancelled, or if a permit is denied and such denial becomes final, the filing fee required herein shall not be refunded nor applied to any subsequent application. (Ord. 325 Rule 3.3(C), 1972)

Where an application is filed for a permit involving alteration of equipment, including when a change in ownership or location occurs, the applicant shall be assessed a fee based upon any increases for which fees are established in the fee schedules contained herein. Where the application is for transfer of location or ownership and no alteration or addition has been made, the applicant shall pay the filing fee. (Ord. 325 Rule 3.3(D), 1972)

When the permit is issued it shall be accompanied by a statement of the fee to be paid. If the fee is not paid within thirty days after the permit is issued, the fee shall be increased by one-half the amount and the air pollution control officer shall notify the applicant of the increased fee by mail. Nonpayment of the increased fee within sixty days after the permit is issued shall result in the automatic cancellation of the application and the permit shall be void. (Ord. 325 Rule 3.3(E), 1972)

In the event that a permit to operate is granted by the hearing board after denial by the air pollution control officer or after the applicant deems his application denied, the applicant shall pay the fee prescribed in the schedules established by this article, within thirty days after the date of the decision of the hearing board. Nonpayment of the fee within this period of time shall result in automatic cancellation of the permit and application. (Ord. 325 Rule 3.3(F), 1972)

A request for a duplicate permit to operate shall be made in writing to the air pollution control officer within ten days after the destruction, loss or defacement of a permit to operate and shall contain the reason a duplicate permit is being requested. A fee established by the board of supervisors shall be paid for issuing a duplicate permit to operate. (Ord. 325 Rule 3.3(G), 1972)

When the air pollution control officer finds that analysis of the emissions from any source is necessary to determine the extent and amount of pollutants being discharged into the atmosphere which cannot be determined by visual observation, he may order that samples be collected and analysis be made by qualified personnel. The time required for collecting samples, making the analysis, and preparing the necessary reports, shall be charged against the owner or operator of said premises as a reasonable sum to be determined by the air pollution control officer. This amount may not exceed the actual cost of such work. (Ord. 325 Rule 3.3(H), 1972)

Charges for information, circulars, reports of technical work, and other reports prepared by the air pollution control district when supplied to other governmental agencies or individuals or groups requesting copies of the same may be charged for by the district in a sum not to exceed the cost of preparation and distribution of such documents. All such moneys collected shall be turned into the general fund of the district. (Ord. 325 Rule 3.3(I), 1972)

Every applicant or petitioner for a variance or for the extension, revocation or modification of a variance, except any state or local governmental agency or public district, shall pay to the clerk of the hearing board, on filing, a nonrefundable fee as established by the board of supervisors. Such fees shall be determined pursuant to Section 24293. (Ord. 325 Rule 3.3(J), 1972)
