003.03 Any interested person will have thirty (30) days from issuance of the public notice to provide the Director with any written comments concerning the draft general permit or request a public hearing in writing. The Director may extend the thirty (30) day period.

003.07 The owner of a dwelling or non-dwelling facility that constructs or operates under general permit coverage may be subject to an enforcement action for constructing without a construction permit or operating without an operating permit if the owner is later determined not to qualify for the general permit.
