(9) Contract county fee schedules.
(a) Each county having an agreement with DEQ under ORS 454.725 (Contracts with local governments) must adopt a fee schedule for services rendered and permits issued. The county fee schedule may not include DEQ’s surcharge established in section (10) of this rule unless identified as a DEQ surcharge.
(b) The county must submit a copy of the fee schedule and any subsequent amendments to the schedule to DEQ.
(c) Fees may not exceed actual costs for efficiently conducted services.
(10) DEQ surcharge.
(a) To offset a portion of the administrative and program oversight costs of the statewide onsite wastewater management program, DEQ and contract counties must levy a surcharge for each site evaluation, report permit, and other activity for which an application is required in this division. The surcharge fee is listed in Table 9F. This surcharge does not apply to pumper truck inspections, annual report evaluation fees, or certification of installers or maintenance providers. [NOTE: All tables are found in OAR 340-071-0800 (Tables).]
(b) Proceeds from surcharges DEQ and contract counties collect must be accounted for separately. Each contract county must forward the proceeds to DEQ under its agreement with the DEQ.
(11) Refunds. DEQ may refund all or a portion of a fee accompanying an application if the applicant withdraws the application before any field work or other substantial review of the application has been done.
