Existing industrial wastewater permits shall be deemed void upon
cessation
of operations by the user or upon the issuance of a new wastewater

The terms and conditions of a permit are automatically continued
past its
expiration date and remain fully enforceable pending issuance of a new
permit
if:

submitted a timely and sufficient application for renewal; or
2.
The Town is unable, through no fault of the
permittee, to issue a new permit before the expiration date of the
previous
permit; and

with the terms and conditions of the previous permit on its expiration
date.

A wastewater permit for a domestic user
shall be issued for an indefinite period without an expiration date.
