Said resolution of this Board dated December 17, 1991, is hereby repealed. 2. The fee for processing a permit to construct, repair, modify or destroy a well issued pursuant to Section 4813 of the Ventura County Ordinance Code shall be as follows: (a) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (c) and (d), for permits relating to water wells, cathodic protection wells, monitoring wells and engineering test holes inspected by the County inspector, the fee shall be $610 for the initial well plus $90 for each additional well which is located on the same site and is perforated or sealed on the same day the initial well is perforated or sealed. (b) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraphs (c) and (d), for permits relating to monitoring wells and engineering test holes inspected by the applicant's registered inspector, the fee shall be $320 for up to four wells on the same site plus $40 for each additional well which is located on the same site. (c) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (d), for permits solely to increase the depth of an existing and unabandoned well for which all earlier construction, repair or modification work has been pursuant to and in compliance with permits issued under Section 4813 of the Ventura County Ordinance Code, the fee shall be $300 for the initial well plus $70 for each additional well on the same site. (d) For permits specified in subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c), where work for which the permit is required has commenced before submittal of the permit application, the fee shall be doubled that otherwise specified in those subparagraphs. It is estimated that such late permit applications cost, on the average, twice as much to process as the timely applications for the same permits. This double fee is imposed not as a penalty but to recover the Resolution No. 2000 -1896 Page 3 estimated additional costs incurred in connection with such late permit applications. (e) For annual permits relating to engineering test holes inspected by registered inspector(s), the fee shall be $520 per year per company. (f) If a County inspector is required to be at a well site in the performance of an inspection of any completion operation, as defined in Section 4812 (d) of the Ventura County Ordinance Code, in excess of two working days, the fee shall be increased by $200 for each working day or portion thereof in excess of the initial two working days. 3. The fee for processing an application to extend a permit pursuant to Section 4813 (E) of the Ventura County Ordinance Code shall be $25. 4. No fee shall be charged for processing an application for approval of a registered inspector, as defined in Section 4812 (U) of the Ventura County Ordinance Code; provided, however, that approval shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Director of the Ventura County Public Works Agency may deem reasonably necessary to ensure the registered inspector's competence and responsibility. 5. No fee shall be charged for processing an application for registration with the Department pursuant to Section 4813 (G) of the Ventura County Ordinance Code. 6. The fee for processing a Certificate of Exemption issued pursuant to Section 4820 of the Ventura County Ordinance Code shall be $100; provided, however, that no fee shall be charged for processing such a certificate respecting a well which is monitored annually by the Ventura County Public Works Agency or the United Water Conservation District. 7.
