(a) The operator of an eligible facility who desires to obtain a temporary permit pursuant to this article shall file a complete and correct application for such permit on or before the final application date.
(b) The application must describe the solid waste handling and composting activities to be authorized under the temporary permit sought by the operator of the eligible facility. Those activities shall be substantially identical to those conducted by the operator during calendar year 2007, although the operator may decrease the amount of materials handled or make other changes that enhance the protection of the public health and safety or reduce the facility's impacts on the environment. In no case shall the solid waste handling or composting activities be changed in a way that would subject the proposed permit to evaluation under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code, sections 21000 et seq. The application must contain sufficient verifiable information regarding the solid waste handling and composting activities at the facility during 2007 to satisfy the enforcement agency that the activities proposed under the temporary permit are substantially identical to those conducted at the facility during calendar year 2007.
(c) The application for a temporary permit for a transfer and processing facility shall contain the following:

(4) descriptive statement of the manner in which activities are currently conducted at the facility and proposed to be conducted under the temporary permit.
(5) days and hours that the facility operates. If the hours of waste receipt differ from the hours of material processing, each set of hours must be stated. For facilities with continuous operations, indicate the start of the operating day for purpose of calculating amount of waste received per operating day. The operator may also indicate whether or not, and when, other activities, such as routine maintenance will take place, if those activities will occur at times other than those indicated above.

The information submitted shall be in the form of verifiable business records, such as certified scale records, weight tags, receipts, bills of sale, disposal receipts, and other records acceptable to the enforcement agency. The information shall include records (if available) or good faith estimates (if records are not available) of the daily quantities of "putrescible wastes" and "residuals" (as defined in subdivision (a)(21) of Section 17402 and in subdivision (b)(1) of Section 17402.5 of 14 CCR, respectively) during calendar year 2007.

(17) The operator shall certify whether the facility is included within the Nondisposal Facility Element of the applicable Countywide Solid Waste Management Plan. If not, the operator shall acknowledge that the facility must be included in such plan before a permanent solid waste facilities permit will be issued.
