Sec. 14.
(a) After
the close of:
(1) the public comment period
required by section 9(a) of this rule on a draft permit; and
(2) any public hearing held under section
9(b) of this rule; the commissioner, except as provided in subsection (c),
shall issue a final permit decision and shall serve notice of that action on
the applicant and on each person who has submitted written comments or
requested notice of the final permit decision. This notice shall include
reference to the procedures available to contest the permit terms by requesting
an adjudicatory hearing. For the purposes of this section, "final permit
decision" means a final decision to issue, deny, modify, revoke and reissue, or
terminate a permit.
(b)
Issuance of a general permit shall be accomplished by the publication of the
full text of the permit on the IDEM website and the notification specified
under section 12(d) of this rule, in addition to the notification required by
subsection (a).
(c) The
commissioner may delegate authority to a staff member to issue or deny NPDES
permits to applicants within a specified class or category of discharges.
Within the scope of any such delegation, a reference in this rule to the
commissioner shall also mean the commissioner's delegatee.
(d) A final permit decision shall become
effective with respect to the applicant unless, within fifteen (15) days after
receipt of notice of said decision, the applicant files a request for
adjudicatory hearing concerning the permit decision with the commissioner in
accordance with IC
13-15-16-1 and IC
4-21.5-3-7.
(e) If an adjudicatory hearing request
concerning a final permit decision is granted by the board pursuant to IC
13-15-6-3,
any permit provisions that are stayed by order of the board shall not go into
effect until confirmed at the final resolution of the hearing or until the
board otherwise dissolves the stay. Any permit provisions not stayed by the
board in such a proceeding remain effective and in full force.
(f) Where permit provisions are stayed during
an adjudicatory proceeding on a renewal permit for an existing source, all
provisions of the previous permit which correspond to the stayed provisions of
the new permit and which are consistent with those provisions of the new permit
that are not stayed shall continue in full force and effect until a final
resolution of the adjudicatory proceeding. However, this subsection shall not
apply if a timely and sufficient application for the renewal permit was not
submitted in accordance with IC
13-15-3-6.
