Section 60. Payment of permit action fees

A. Due date.

1. Except as specified in subdivisions 2, 3, and 4 of this subsection, all permit action fees are due on the day of application and must accompany the application.

2. Applicants for solid waste management permits shall submit the appropriate fee along with the certification from the local governing body and the disclosure statements at the time of the submittal of the notice of intent. An applicant for a new facility shall submit appropriate Part A fees with the notice of intent, and submit the Part B action fee when the Part B application is submitted.

3. Applicants for an emergency permit shall submit the permit action fee to the department within 60 days of submitting an application.

4. For facilities entering the corrective action program, the fee for Corrective Action, Module XIV, is due upon submission of the proposal for presumptive remedy or assessment of corrective measures. If during the course of the corrective action program, modifications to the corrective action program are required, no additional fee will be assessed.

B. Method of payment. Fees shall be paid by check, draft or postal money order made payable to "Treasurer of Virginia." When the department is able to accept electronic payments, payments may be submitted electronically.

C. Incomplete payments. All incomplete payments will be deemed nonpayments.

D. Payment required. No applications will be deemed to be complete until proper payment is received by the department. The department shall not begin a review of an incomplete application unless the application is for an emergency permit. Nonpayment of fees will result in a processing delay. If the director is amending or revoking and re-issuing a permit for cause, nonpayment of fees may lead to termination of the permit.
