Box 13088, MC 214, Austin, Texas 78711-3088. Fees must be paid at the time an application for a permit or amendment is submitted.

    (C) the permitted facilities are to be located on the same or contiguous property; and

    (A) If no permit or amendment is issued by the agency or if the applicant withdraws the application prior to issuance of the permit or amendment, one-half of the fee will be refunded.
