Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Permit application. Any person who is
				  required to have a permit (including new applicants and permittees with
				  expiring permits) shall complete, sign, and submit a Part A and Part B permit
				  application to the Department as specified in this chapter. Persons currently
				  authorized with interim status shall apply for permits when required by the
				  Department. Persons covered by permits by rule (section
				  66270.60) need not apply.
				  Procedures for applications, issuance and administration of emergency permits
				  are found exclusively in section
				  66270.61. Procedures for
				  application, issuance and administration of research, development, and
				  demonstration permits are found exclusively in section
				  66270.65.
(b) Who applies? When a facility or activity
				  is owned by one person but is operated by another person, it is the operator's
				  duty to obtain a permit, except that the owner shall also sign the permit
				  application.
(c) Completeness. The
				  Department shall not begin the processing of a permit until the applicant has
				  fully complied with the application requirements for that permit. The
				  Department shall not issue a permit before receiving a complete application for
				  a permit except for permits by rule, or emergency permits. An application for a
				  permit is complete when the Department receives an application form and any
				  supplemental information which are completed to the Department's satisfaction,
				  and the Department notifies the applicant in writing that the application is
				  complete. The completeness of any application for a permit shall be judged
				  independently of the status of any other permit application or permit for the
				  same facility or activity. The Department may deny a permit for the active life
				  a of a hazardous waste management facility or unit before receiving a complete
				  application for a permit.
(d)
				  Information requirements. All applicants for permits shall provide information
				  set forth in section
				  66270.13 and applicable
				  subsections in sections
				  66270.14 through
				  66270.23 to the Department, using
				  the application form (Application for a Hazardous Waste Permit, EPA Form
				  8700-23, revised 1/90) provided by the Department.
(e) Existing hazardous waste management
				  facilities and interim status qualifications.
(1) Owners and operators of existing
				  hazardous waste management facilities or of hazardous waste management
				  facilities in existence on the effective date of statutory or regulatory
				  amendments under the act that render the facility subject to the requirement to
				  have a permit shall submit Part A of their permit application no later than:
(A) six months after the date of publication
				  of regulations which first require them to comply with the standards set forth
				  in chapter 15 or 16 of this division, or
(B) thirty days after the date they first
				  become subject to the standards set forth in chapter 15 or 16 of this division,
				  whichever first occurs.
