    (e)

    The city manager or his designee is authorized to reject applications or to accept applications and issue permits to applicants based on the material provided in the application and an evaluation of the impact of the proposed wastes on the city waste management facility.

    (f)

    The city manager or his designee is authorized to accept or reject waste from any permit holder in accordance with the program policies and procedures, and any requirements of the facility operating permit or state or federal law.

    Fees for the city waste management facility permit program are outlined in subsection 12-75(e).

    (h)

    The program shall include provision for a security deposit, as set forth in subsection 12-75(e). The security deposit shall be released to the applicant upon the termination of the permit, provided all city accounts are satisfactorily settled. The city may use all or part of the security deposit to satisfy any outstanding balance on any account the permit holder has with the city, following thirty (30) calendar days written notice to the permit holder. The city manager or his designee may release the security deposit to any permit holder that has established a minimum of eighteen (18) months of acceptable payment history.
