Rule 3.
(1) A permit shall provide that the work authorized in the permit shall be completed within a specified term, normally not more than 1 year from the date of issuance, or as otherwise determined by the department. For long- term projects, the department may authorize a permit for up to 5 years. The department may grant an extension of time. The department shall not require an administrative fee for processing requests for an extension of time.
(2) The department shall ensure that a permit that authorizes a project which involves a lake or stream crossing by pipelines or utilities specifically conditions the activity to be subject to the requirements and specifications of R 281.832.
(3) A permit does not obviate the necessity of receiving approval from the Drinking Water and Radiological Protection Division of the department or a local unit of government when applicable, including a local unit of government responsible for administering parts 91 and 323 of the act and the United States army corps of engineers, where applicable.
(4) The department shall not issue a permit, except for a conditional permit or a permit under a minor project category, until 20 days after the mailing of the list to each eligible subscriber as provided for in section 30105(1) of the act.
(5) Upon request, the department shall provide any person with a copy of a permit application and supporting documents under Act No. 442 of the Public Acts of 1976, as amended, being S15.231 et seq. of the Michigan Compiled Laws.
(6) The department may consider a mitigation plan submitted by the applicant and incorporate the mitigation actions as permit conditions for the improvement of the existing resources or the creation of a new resource to offset resource losses resulting from the proposed project, if acceptable.
(7) The department may reissue a permit for an expired permit without an additional fee if a written request is made within 1 year of the expiration date of the expired permit. The department must find that the basis for issuing the original permit is still valid before reissuing an expired permit.
