Fee Structure 12VAC5-620-30, 70, 80
 

12VAC5-620-30
Apparently a distinction is being made between an “application fee” and a “services provided fee”.
Fees should be established for both conditions. Application fees should be strictly administrative

VDH “services provided fee” should encompass the total hourly process of  administrative services, technical siting and planning discussions, FOIA requests, site visits, sanitary surveys, field evaluations, client discussions, percolation testing, surveys, system specifications, abbreviated designs, level 1 and 2 reviews and document revisions, et. al.   (A. The commissioner shall establish a schedule of fees to be charged by the department for services related to construction, maintenance, and repair or replacement of onsite sewage disposal systems, alternative discharge systems, and private wells and for appeals before the Review Board. B. In establishing fees, the commissioner shall consider the actual or estimated average cost to the agency of delivering each service included in the schedule of fees.)

OSE/PE supported documentation should require an application fee only.
VDH will require “services provided and application fees”

12VAC5-620-70 A.B. appears to satisfy this distintction.

12VAC5-620-80 F5, G1. There should be no time constraints placed on any application
