Section 325.235 Refunds
a) No
fee remitted to the Agency under this Part shall be refunded in whole or in
part at any time or for any reason except as provided in Section 12.5(l) of the
Act for certain payments made for the period July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005
under Sections 12.5(e)(1)(i) and (ii) of the Act and except for those
circumstances provided for in subsection (c) of this Section.

received by the Agency under this Part will be automatically credited to the

no future fees are due for that facility or when the amount of the overpayment
exceeds the amount due for the following fiscal year, the permit holder may
request in writing that the overpayment be credited to fees due to the Agency
for another facility under this Part or for fees due to the Agency for the
affected facility under a different Part.
c) Pursuant
to this Section, as authorized by Section 12.5(k) of the Act, the Agency may
issue refunds when a written request containing the applicable permit number, FEIN
or SSN and refund amount requested is received from the permittee or applicant
and one of the following circumstances are present:
1) the
payment received is greater than the amount billed on the invoice for existing
permits or indicated on the notice of fee due for new permits and no past due
amounts are outstanding;
2) the amount billed is
determined to be incorrect; or
3) a refund
is required by order of the Pollution Control Board, by a court order or at the
direction of the Comptroller's Office.
