(A) Upon the director's issuance of a draft permit for an application to issue or modify a permit, the department shall transmit by certified mail a copy of the permit application and the draft NPDES permit to the regional administrator of the United States environmental protection agency, unless by written agreement the regional administrator has waived the right to receive, review, object, or comment upon a draft permit. If the regional administrator makes timely objection in writing to the issuance of the NPDES permit as being outside the requirements of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the permit shall not become final. The director may issue an amended draft permit after consideration of written comments or recommendations of the regional administrator, or may withdraw a draft permit.

(1) The director shall also transmit to the regional administrator of the United States environmental protection agency a copy of any significant comments presented in writing pursuant to the public notice of a draft permit and a summary of any significant comments presented at any public meeting on any permit if:
(a) The regional administrator requests this information;

(b) The proposed permit contains requirements significantly different from those contained in the draft permit; or

(c) Significant comments objecting to the draft permit have been presented at the public meeting or in writing pursuant to the public notice. This does not apply to permits which by written agreement the regional administrator has waived the right to review and for which the United States environmental protection agency has not otherwise requested a receipt.

(2) Immediately following final issuance or modification or renewal of a permit under division (D) of section 903.09 of the Revised Code, the department shall transmit by first class mail a copy to the regional administrator.
