Current through Register No. 45, November 7, 2024

Section Env-Ws 372.07 - Design Review Fee

(a) As specified in RSA 485:8, III, the applicant shall pay an application fee for the review of:

(1) A proposed small community water system; or

(2) The modification of an existing public water system, including:

a. The conversion of a transient/non-community system from transient use to residential-type use; or

b. The expansion of a small community water system within 2 years of its original approval.

(b) The fee shall be determined as follows:

(1) For proposedresidential-type units, the fee shall be as stated in RSA 485:8, III per unit, regardless of the size of the residential units;

(2) For proposed non-residential units, the fee shall be determined by conversion of the water system design flow to a residential-equivalent unit basis. For purposes of this rule, a "residential-equivalent unit" means a design flow of 300 gpd;

(3) The design flow for non-residential units shall be as specified in Env-Ws 372.10 or Env-Ws 1008;

(4) The fee for each residential-equivalent unit shall be as stated in RSA 485:8, III. The calculated fee for non-residential systems shall be determined by rounding off to the nearest full residential-equivalent unit;

(5) In determining the number of units the water system is designed to accommodate, the department shall use system design parameters, proposed plans for additional construction, and other factors bearing on the ultimate design flow for the water system;

(6) The department shall presume that any application for expansion within 2 years of the initial submittal ispart of the initial water system design and therefore subject to the design review fee;

(7) If the design flow of a non-residential public water system is less than one-half of a residential equivalent unit, the fee shall be zero dollars;

(8) The maximum fee shall be based on 175 units or equivalent residential units; and

(9) No additional fee shall be charged for revised submissions which do not include additional units, or for submissions requesting an extension or expansion of an existing small community water system.

(c) The design review fee shall be paid in conjunction with the design review application form submitted as required byEnv-Ws 372.06(a)(1).
