40-4.1 Fees for departmental services.

(a) The department must charge a fee for the granting of a permit, inspections, or other services prerequisite to the issuance of a permit, or for other environmental health services. Such fee shall be nonrefundable.

(b) Annual fees for facility inspection and permit issuance services, where such services are provided by the department and not directly by the municipality, are based on the costs of providing such services and shall be revised periodically.

(c) Cumulative fees for a single operator at a single location shall not exceed $1,000 per year.

(d) Definitions. (1) As used in this Subpart, "multipurpose recreational facilities," are defined as large tracts of land upon which a recreational facility owned and operated by a single person, partnership or corporation is located. Such facilities may encompass multiple food, swimming or recreational facilities permittable under the State Sanitary Code. In completing a Fee Determination Schedule, the facility operator may exercise an option to pay either a registration fee as provided for in paragraph (10) of subdivision (e) of this section or fees separately calculated for each individual activity.

(2) "Primary service" is defined as the principal or major function of such multipurpose recreational facilities (e.g. water slides). All such primary services are covered by the base fee. Other services, (e.g. food,) are chargeable as add-ons for each individual facility (e.g., 10 food booths x $50. = $500.00 additional fee).

(3) "Seasonal facility," for the purpose of determining the annual fee levels for such facility, is defined as a facility permittable under the provisions of the State Sanitary Code which operates 26 weeks or less in a calendar year. Such seasonal facility must be designated as such on any permit issued to it, which shall also state the starting and ending dates of the seasonal operating period. Such seasonal facility shall be entitled to a 10% reduction from the normal annual fee.
