Operating Permit 6-12 months	$ 477.00	$ 424.00	$ 371.00	$ 159.00	$ 84.00

(3) Other Terms and Conditions:

(a)	The department may charge an additional fee of $87 plus associated laboratory costs for any inspections beyond those provided under the annual operating permit when necessary due to violations of such items as (a) noncompliance with water quality standards, and (b) failure to comply with operational requirements for health and safety.
(b)	The department may charge an alternate annual fee for an operating permit based on direct and indirect costs associated with issuance of the permit when arrangements are made with local health jurisdictions to administer all or portions of the duties associated with the operating permit. Except, that the fee for this operating permit cannot exceed the cost established by the previous portions of this regulation, but the fee may be less.
(c)	During the first year of development of the operating permit and for new pool facilities built hereafter, or pools temporarily closed (significant period of several months) and reopened, there are provisions for prorating the costs for the operating permits.
(d)	A reduction in fees, up to but not exceeding thirty percent, may be granted by the department when a facility operator can demonstrate a satisfactory level of training in pool safety, water quality, maintenance and operations. The department will develop criteria for these fee reductions within six months of the adoption of this regulation.
(e)	For limited use facilities requiring operating permits which are serving less than fifteen living units, the operating permit shall be fifty percent of the fee. However, the department may charge a reinspection fee if necessary under (a) of other terms and conditions.

(b)	If a single swimming pool and a single spa pool is used at the facility, the fee schedule will include fees as noted.

(c)	If there are 12 pools/spas at a single year-around pool facility, the fee cap would apply and the maximum fee of $1032 would be charged. ($477 base fee, $84 for first additional pool/spa, $67 for the remaining ten year-around pools/spas (10 x $67 = $670)) Total fee before fee cap = $477 + $84 + $670 = $1231. After fee cap the total fee = $1032. If approved training were credited to this facility for the maximum 30% discount, the 30% would be applied to the fee cap fee of $1032; $1032 - 30% = $723.))
