In addition to the license fee established in Section 14.12.040, there is hereby established a volume fee. For discharging septic waste there is established a fee of 3.35¢ per gallon discharged. For discharging chemical toilet waste, there is established a fee of 2.25¢ per gallon discharged. For discharge of leachate from the Cathcart Sanitary Landfill, there is established a charge of 2.25¢ per gallon discharged. After December 31, 1985, any changes in the volume fee shall be established by resolution of the city council. Septic waste shall include that material taken from cesspools, septic tanks and holding tanks. Chemical toilet waste shall include that material taken from chemical toilets, portable toilets and privies. If a truck load contains both septic waste and chemical toilet waste, the licensee shall be charged per the septic waste rate. The charge levied to the licensee shall be based upon the registered truck volume for each load discharged unless previously arranged otherwise. Furthermore, there shall be a surcharge equal to twenty-five percent of the volume fee for those hauling septic waste from outside the city of Everett and a surcharge of twenty-five percent for those hauling chemical toilet waste from outside the city of Everett beginning October 1, 1981, through December 31, 1983, and a fifty percent surcharge thereafter.

The volume fee shall be paid to the city within fifteen days of mailing the bill therefor by the city. In the event of nonpayment of the volume fee, the license shall be cancelled. If the licensee questions the amount owing, the licensee must contact the city prior to the fifteenth day in which event the procedure set forth in Sections 14.32.060, 14.32.070, 14.32.080 and 14.32.090 (as is or is hereafter amended) will be followed. A licensee who appeals pursuant to the above procedure will not be subject to loss of license during the appeal proceedings; provided that undisputed amounts are paid.
