Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
Notwithstanding any other time frames for permit review and issuance established under this Chapter, the following provisions shall apply to all applications for permits relating to oil and gas wells and pipelines.
A. Time Frames for Review and Issuance
1. Within 14 workdays after
submittal of a permit application, the permitting authority shall issue
notification of a completeness determination to the owner or operator. If
written notice of completeness is not provided within 14 workdays after
submittal, the application shall be deemed complete.
2. If the application is not deemed complete,
the department shall notify the owner or operator in writing and provide a list
of the application's specific deficiencies.
3. Within 60 workdays after notification to
the owner or operator of a complete permit application or after the application
has been deemed to be complete, a final decision to grant or deny the permit
shall be issued.
4. In the event of
a permit denial, the permitting authority shall provide written reasons for the
decision to the owner or operator.
5. Any deadline established by this Section
may be extended upon mutual agreement of the permitting authority and the owner
or operator.
B. Additional Requirements
1. The application
shall clearly and prominently indicate that the application is pertaining to an
oil and gas well or pipeline.
2.
The application shall indicate whether the owner or operator agrees to extend
the deadlines established in Subsection A of this Section at the time of
submittal of the application. A decision not to extend the deadlines at the
time of submittal does not preclude the permitting authority and the owner or
operator from reaching a mutual agreement to extend such deadlines at a later
date.
