Ariz. Admin. Code § R18-9-C618 - Draft Permits

A. Once an application is complete, the Director shall tentatively decide whether to prepare a draft permit or to deny the application.

B. If the Director tentatively decides to deny the permit application, they shall issue a notice of intent to deny. A notice of intent to deny the permit application is a type of draft permit which follows the same procedures as any draft permit prepared under this section. If the Director's final decision is that the tentative decision to deny the permit application was incorrect, they shall withdraw the notice of intent to deny and proceed to prepare a draft permit under subsection (D) of this section.

C. If the Director decides to prepare a draft permit, it shall contain the following information, to the extent applicable:

1. All conditions under R18-9-D635;

2. All compliance schedules under R18-9-D637;

3. All monitoring requirements under R18-9-D638; and

4. Permit conditions under R18-9-D636.

D. All draft permits prepared under this Section shall be accompanied by a brief summary of the basis for the draft permit conditions or the intent to deny, including references to applicable statutory or regulatory provisions and a fact sheet pursuant to R18-9-C619 . The Director shall provide the applicant with the draft permit and the fact sheet and allow reasonable time for informal comment by the applicant prior to publicly noticing the draft permit and fact sheet. The Director shall give notice of opportunity for a public hearing and public comment, issue a final permit decision, and respond to comments.
