Illinois Administrative Code › Title 17 - CONSERVATION › Part 3708 - FLOODWAY CONSTRUCTION IN NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS › Section 3708.140 - Time to Permit Issuance; Emergency Authorizations; Duration; Revisions

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) If permit
			 authority has not been delegated to a municipality or county, the Department,
			 pursuant to Sections
			 3708.70
			 and
			 3708.110, will
			 either grant approval or approval with conditions or deny an application for
			 permit within 90 days after receipt of a complete application (or 150 days in
			 the event a hearing is held) unless a longer time period is requested in
			 writing by the applicant. If the Department has not approved the application
			 within these time limits, the application will be deemed denied. The time limit
			 for final Department action on a permit application will be computed from the
			 date on which the Department has received all information required in Section
			 3708.110. If additional data or revised plans are required by the Department,
			 the time between the request and receipt of the requested material will not be
			 counted in these time periods. Also, the time required for resolution of
			 relevant objections (see Section
			 3708.120 ) will not
			 be counted in these time periods.
b) The Department will issue an emergency
			 permit after receipt of a properly executed application form (including an
			 explanation of why the work to be performed is of an emergency nature) and plan
			 sheets describing the work if harm to life or loss of property is likely to
			 occur if initiation of the activity is delayed. An applicant for an emergency
			 permit is deemed to have agreed to make modifications, at his or her own
			 expense, required by the Department if the work does not comply with Section
			 3708.70, based upon completion of a review and on comments received during the
			 public comment period, to bring the activity into compliance with this
			 Part.
c) Permits will be valid
			 until December 31 of the third year following the date of permit issuance,
			 unless the Department determines that the proposed work must be completed
			 sooner, such as in the case of work to correct a violation. Upon the written
			 request of the applicant, permits may be granted for longer periods of time if
			 the expected construction period exceeds three years.
d) If the permitted activity is not completed
			 by the expiration date of the permit, the permittee shall submit a written
			 request that the expiration date be extended if the permittee intends to pursue
			 the permitted activity. Upon receipt of the request, the Department will extend
			 the expiration date if the permitted activity is in compliance with the rules
			 of the Department at the time of the request.
e) If, after permit issuance, the permittee
			 decides to revise the approved plans, the permittee shall submit those revised
			 plans to the Department, along with a written request for approval. If the
			 Department determines that the revised plans are in compliance with this Part,
			 an approval of revised plans will be issued to the permittee.
