Mont. Admin. R. 17.30.1364 - APPLICATION PROCESSING PROCEDURES
(1)
(a) Any person who requires a permit under
the MPDES program shall complete, sign, and submit to the department an
application for each permit required under ARM
17.30.1301. Application procedures
for authorizations under MPDES general permits are set forth at ARM
17.30.1341.
(b) The department may not begin the
processing of a permit until the applicant has fully complied with the
application requirements for that permit. See ARM
17.30.1322.
(c) Permit applications must comply with the
signature and certification requirements of ARM
17.30.1323.
(2) The department shall review for
completeness every application for a permit. Each application for a permit
submitted by a new source or new discharger should be reviewed for completeness
by the department within 30 days of its receipt. Each application for a permit
submitted by an existing source should be reviewed for completeness within 60
days of receipt. If the application is incomplete, the department shall advise
the applicant of the information necessary to make the application complete.
When the application is for an existing source, the department shall specify in
the notice of deficiency a date for submitting the necessary information. After
the application is complete, the department may request additional information
from an applicant but only when necessary to clarify, modify, or supplement
previously submitted material. Requests for such additional information do not
render an application incomplete.
(3) If an applicant fails or refuses to
correct deficiencies in the application, the permit may be denied and
appropriate enforcement actions may be taken by the department.
(4) If the department decides that a site
visit is necessary for any reason in conjunction with the processing of an
application, it shall notify the applicant and schedule a date.
(5) The effective date of an application is
the date on which the department determines that the application is complete as
provided in (3).
(6) For each
application from a major MPDES new source or major MPDES new discharger, the
department shall, no later than the effective date of the application, prepare
and mail to the applicant a project decision schedule. The schedule must
specify target dates by which the department intends to:
(a) prepare a draft permit;
(b) give public notice;
(c) complete the public comment period,
including any public hearing; and
(d) issue a final permit.
