(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), no person shall own or operate an underground storage tank unless a permit for its operation has been issued by the local agency to the owner. The local agency shall prepare a form which provides for the acceptance of the obligations of a transferred permit by any person who is to assume the ownership of an underground storage tank from the previous owner and is to be transferred the permit to operate the tank. That person shall complete the form to the local agency within thirty days after the ownership of the underground storage tank is to be transferred. The local agency may review and modify, or terminate, the transfer of the permit to operate the underground storage tank, pursuant to the criteria specified in subdivision (b) of section 13.39 upon receiving the completed form.
(b) Any person assuming ownership of an underground storage tank used for the storage of hazardous substances for which a valid operating permit has been issued shall have thirty days after the date of assumption of ownership to apply for an operating permit pursuant to section 13.33 or, if accepting a transferred permit, shall submit to the local agency the completed form accepting the obligations of the transferred permit, as specified in subdivision (a). During the period from the date of application until the permit is issued or refused, the person shall not be held to be in violation of this section.
(c) When, in its judgment, it is appropriate to do so, the local agency may issue a single permit to a person for a facility. (Ord. No. 944, § 3.)
