B. Petitions for extensions of time within which to comply with orders. Any person affected by an order of the Department issued under this rule may petition the Commissioner or designee for an extension of time within which to comply with the terms of such order. Such petition must be made no earlier than sixty days before compliance with such order is required. Such a petition must contain a concise statement by the petitioner of the facts which they believe warrant an extension; must include, where appropriate, affidavits of engineers and contractors, engineering drawings and other material which will aid the Commissioner or designee in acting upon the petition; and must state a definite date to which extension is desired.
