Current through July 13, 2024
(a) For Class I
				wells the following are applicable:
(i) The
				applicant shall file seven (7) copies of the permit application with the Water
				Quality Division.
(ii) Within sixty
				(60) days of submission of the application, the administrator shall make an
				initial determination of completeness. An application shall be determined
				complete when the administrator receives an application and any supplemental
				information necessary to determine compliance with these regulations.
(iii) An incomplete application will be
				processed in the following manner:
(A) For an
				extremely incomplete application, additional information shall be requested in
				detail or the application will be returned to the applicant. Incomplete permit
				applications will result in permit denial.
(B) If an application is denied because of
				incompleteness necessitating a request for additional information, the
				applicant shall have a maximum of six (6) months to comply with the requests.
				If the applicant fails to provide the requested information within that period,
				the entire incomplete application shall be returned.
(C) Resubmittal of information by an
				applicant on an incomplete application will begin the process described in
				subsection (a)(ii) of this section.
(iv) During any sixty (60) day review period
				where an application is determined complete, the administrator shall take one
				of the following actions:
(A) Prepare a draft
				permit for issuance or denial, prepare a fact sheet on the proposed operation,
				and provide public notice pursuant to Section
				21; or
(B) Provide the applicant notice that the
				permit is deficient and state the deficiencies in the application.
(v) Determinations of deficiency
				by the Department are appealable by the applicant to the Environmental Quality
				Council. Requests for appeal must be in writing, state the reasons for appeal,
				and be made to both the Director and the Chairman of the Environmental Quality
				Council. A deficient application is considered a permit denial but is not
				subject to the public notice requirements of Section
				22 unless a hearing is requested by the
				applicant. Resubmittal of information for a deficient application will start
				the sixty (60) day review period again.
(vi) Denials of permit applications will be
				pursuant to procedures outlined in paragraph (d) of this section.
(vii) All draft permits for Class I wells
				require public notice pursuant to Section
				21 of this chapter.
