(a)
						This Subchapter sets forth the method of application for a full solid waste
						facilities permit and procedures for review and action on the application
						package. This Subchapter also addresses related matters of exemptions from the
						solid waste facilities permit requirements, application for changes in design
						or operation, reinstatement of solid waste facilities permits after
						disciplinary actions, periodic reviews and revisions of solid waste facilities
						permits, and amending application information. Matters related to EA actions to
						amend, suspend or revoke solid waste facilities permits are included in Article
						2, Chapter 5.
(b) The provisions of
						this Subchapter shall apply to solid waste facilities or disposal sites and any
						other operations requiring a full solid waste facilities permit pursuant to
						this Division. Specific provisions of this Subchapter outlining the different
						responsibilities of the applicant, EA and the CIWMB may be found below as
						follows:
(1) Exemption from a solid waste facilities
								  permit
Article 1.
(2) Applicant Requirements
Article 2.
(3) EA Requirements
Article 3.
(4) CIWMB Requirements
Article 3.1.
(c) Except as otherwise noted, for purposes
						of this chapter only, "facility" means solid waste facility, disposal site or
						any other operation requiring a full solid waste facilities permit pursuant to
						this division.
(d) For purposes of
						these articles (Articles 1-3.1), the following definitions apply:
(1) "Complete" means all requirements placed
						upon the operation of the solid waste facility by statute, regulation, and
						other agencies with jurisdiction have been addressed in the application
						package.
(2) "Correct" means all
						information provided by the applicant regarding the solid waste facility must
						be accurate, exact, and must fully describe the parameters of the solid waste
						facility.
(3) "Application Filing"
						means the enforcement agency has determined the application package is complete
						and correct and the statutory time limit contained in Public Resources Code
						§
													44008
						commences.
(4) "Informational
						Meeting" means a meeting where the public is invited to hear and comment on the
						preliminary determination of the action to be taken by the EA on an accepted
						application package. The meeting is strictly informational and no official
						decision is made at the meeting regarding the formal determination on the solid
						waste facilities permit application. EA-conducted Informational Meetings
						fulfill the requirements set forth in Public Resources Code §
													44004
						related to holding a "public hearing", unless the EA substitutes another
						meeting/hearing that meets the provisions in §
													21660.4. The definition used
						herein, does not apply to public hearings, or hearings before hearing panels or
						hearing officers set forth in Public Resources Code §
													44300,
						Chapter 4, Articles 1 and 2, having to do with denial of solid waste facilities
						permits and related recourses.
(5)
						"Nonmaterial change" means a change that would require a change to the solid
						waste facilities permit but would not result in any physical change that would
						alter the approved design or operation of the facility. The definition is only
						for purposes of determining when a permit modification is needed as determined
						by the EA pursuant to §
													21665(d)(1).
(6) "Significant Change in the design or
						operation of the solid waste facility that is not authorized by the existing
						permit" means a change in design or operation of a solid waste facility where
						the EA has determined pursuant to §
													21665 that the change is of such
						consequence that the solid waste facilities permit needs to include further
						restrictions, prohibitions, mitigations, terms, conditions or other measures to
						adequately protect public health, public safety, ensure compliance with State
						minimum standards or to protect the environment. The definition is only for
						purposes of determining when a permit needs to be revised and should not be
						utilized for any other purpose.
