(e)

Septic Tank Pumper. No person shall operate a septic tank pumper without having a valid Permit to Operate issued for such pumper by the Director.

Grace Period Pending Issuance. An application for a Permit to Operate with respect to which the Director has recommended approval pursuant to Section 4607 shall, for a period of three working days, excluding weekends and holidays, from the date of such recommendation, confer the same privileges as a Permit to Operate even if the Permit to Operate fee has not yet been paid and the Permit has not yet been issued.
