IN, H. Maintain current records for each permitted SSTS including all site evaluation documents, design documents, inspection documents, and other applicable documents; I. The City shall employ or retain under contract qualified and appropriately licensed professionals to administer and operate the SSTS program; and J. Submit annual reports to MPCA as required. Section 15-3.6. STATE ADMINISTRATION The owner or owners of a single SSTS or a group of SSTS under common ownership must obtain an SDS permit from the agency according to chapter 7001 when all or part of proposed or existing soil dispersal components are within one-half mile of each other and the combined flow from all proposed and existing SSTS is greater than 10,000 gallons per day. For proposed SSTS, the flow must be determined according 7081.0110. For existing SSTS, the flow is determined by the greater of the average maximum seven-day measured flow or flow amounts according to part 7081.0110. The highest calculated value of the various methods in Table I under part 7081.0130, subpart 1, must be used to make this determination, with no reduction allowed. An SDS permit is not required if a factor of safety is added to the design flow that results in a design flow that is in excess of the SDS permit threshold. Section 15-3.7. LIABILITY The City's involvement in administration of this Article does not create a special duty to any person and, further liability or responsibility shall not be imposed upon the City or any of its officials, employees, or other contract agents, for damage resulting from the defective construction, operation, or abandonment of any onsite or cluster SSTS regulated under this Article or by reason of any standards, requirements, or inspections authorized by this Article hereunder. Section 15-3.8. ALL SSTS Except as explicitly set forth in Section 15-3.10, all provisions of this Article shall apply to any SSTS regardless of the date it was originally permitted. Section 15-3.9.
