§ 1145.13. Permit transfer.

Each industrial user permit is issued to a specific user for a specific operation for a specified time. Any assignment, transfer or sale of an industrial user permit is prohibited and is a violation of this chapter unless prior approval is obtained in writing from the director. Industrial wastewater discharge permits may be transferred to a new owner or operator only if the permittee gives at least ninety (90) days advance notice to the director and the director approves of the individual wastewater discharge permit transfer. The notice to the director must include a written certification by the new owner or operator which:

(A)

States that the new owner and/or operator has no immediate intent to change the facility's operations and processes;

(B)

Identifies the specific date on which the transfer is to occur, and

(C)

Acknowledges full responsibility for complying with the existing individual wastewater discharge permit.

The new owner or operator must provide documentation showing the transfer of permit ownership and must agree to comply with all terms and conditions of the permit and provide other information as deemed necessary by the director. Any fines, fees, remedial action plans, or other enforcement actions assigned to the existing water/sewer account or industrial wastewater discharge permit shall be enforceable against the new owner of the permit.
