14.10.240 Permit Issuance Process.
A. Public Notice: Users shall follow the procedures for public notice found in Section 14.10.070(G) and Section 14.10.070(H). The Director shall consider and respond to public input as appropriate prior to issuance of a permit. The Director will arrange a public meeting pursuant to WAC 173-216-100 if there is sufficient interest.
B. Permit Appeals: Any Person, including the User, may petition the Director to reconsider the terms of a wastewater discharge permit within thirty (30) days of the date of its issuance.
1. Failure to submit a timely petition for review shall be deemed to be a waiver of the administrative appeal.
2. In its petition, the appealing party must indicate the wastewater discharge permit provisions objected to, the reasons for this objection, and the alternative condition(s), if any, it seeks to place in the wastewater discharge permit.
3. The effectiveness of the wastewater discharge permit shall not be stayed pending the appeal.
4. If the Director fails to act within thirty (30) days, a request for reconsideration shall be deemed to be denied. Decisions not to reconsider a wastewater discharge permit, not to issue a wastewater discharge permit, or not to modify a wastewater discharge permit shall be considered final administrative actions for purposes of judicial review.
5. Aggrieved parties seeking judicial review of the final administrative wastewater discharge permit decision must do so by filing a complaint with the Superior Court of Clark County within thirty (30) days of final agency action and properly served upon the City of Vancouver. (Ord. M-3970 §2, 2010)
