(a) The Department may issue an expedited well permit for those well permit applications initially received via telefax machines or other electronic media.

(b) A licensed well driller requesting an expedited well permit under this section shall properly complete the appropriate well permit application form and send a copy to the Department via telefax machine or other electronic media.

Upon this finding, the Department shall transmit an approved copy of the well permit to the licensed driller via telefax machine or other electronic media.

(d) The well driller shall submit the completed well permit application form (hard copy) to the Department within five business days of the expedited well permit number issuance. The well driller shall assure that the assigned well permit number is properly noted on the application form.

(e) An expedited well permit approval may be issued for a public community supply well only in those cases where the Department has issued its approval to construct the well in accordance with the New Jersey Safe Drinking Water Act rules, N.J.A.C. 7:10.
