§ 8-6. Procedure for application for permit

The application requirements are specified in section 1-302 of the "Environmental Protection Rules". The applicant may elect to submit the application on the municipal application form or to use the current Agency of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation, Wastewater Management Division (ANR, DEC, WWMD) application form.

If the ANR application form is used it must be accompanied by a cover letter stating that the document is being submitted for review by the town. It is the intent of the town to simplify the process so that one (1) identical application may be submitted for a parcel that currently requires approval from the town and the state.

In those cases where there is a lease parcel, the property owner is the applicant, the property owner or their duly certified representative must sign the application. The town may require a copy of the document certifying that a representative has the authority to sign for the parcel owner. The lease holder of the lease parcel may be a signatory party to the application under terms of the lease between these two (2) parties. From the state and town point of view, the property owner is the responsible party for the permitted on-site sewage disposal and potable water system.

No person shall design a potable water supply or wastewater system that requires a permit under this chapter without first obtaining a designer license from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources.

All fees for permits shall be paid at the time of application in accordance with chapter 6 of the Colchester Code of Ordinances as permitted by section 1-604 of the EPR.
