Section 705.122  Completeness

a)         The Agency must review every application for a RCRA or UIC permit for completeness.

b)         Time limitations on Agency review for application completeness:

1)         Each application for a permit submitted by a new HWM (hazardous waste management) facility or new UIC injection well must be reviewed for completeness within 30 days of its receipt.

2)         Each application for a permit by an existing HWM facility (both Parts A and B of the application) or existing injection well must be reviewed for completeness within 60 days of receipt.

c)         Upon completing its review for completeness, the Agency must notify the applicant in writing whether the application is complete.  If the application is incomplete, the Agency must list the information necessary to make the application complete.

d)         When the application is for an existing HWM (Hazardous Waste Management) facility or an existing UIC injection well, the Agency must also specify in the notice of deficiency a date for submitting the necessary information.

e)         The Agency shall, within the time limitations specified in subsection (b), notify the applicant whether additional information submitted in response to a notice of deficiency is deemed sufficient or insufficient to complete the application.

f)         After the application is deemed complete, the Agency may request additional information from an applicant only when necessary to clarify, modify, or supplement previously submitted material.  Requests for such additional information will not render an application incomplete.
