R315-270-150. Hazardous Waste Permit Program -- How Will the Director Make a Final Decision on My Rap Application?

  (a) The Director shall consider and respond to any significant comments raised during the public comment period, or during any hearing on the draft RAP or notice of intent to deny, and revise your draft RAP based on those comments, as appropriate.

  (b) If the Director determines that your RAP includes the information and terms and conditions required in Section R315-270-135, then he will issue a final decision approving your RAP and, in writing, notify you and all commenters on your draft RAP that your RAP application has been approved.

  (c) If the Director determines that your RAP does not include the information required in Section R315-270-135, then he will issue a final decision denying your RAP and, in writing, notify you and all commenters on your draft RAP that your RAP application has been denied.

  (d) If the Director's final decision is that the tentative decision to deny the RAP application was incorrect, he will withdraw the notice of intent to deny and proceed to prepare a draft RAP, according to the requirements in Sections R315-270-79 through 230.

  (e) When the Director issues a final RAP decision, the Director shall refer to the procedures for appealing the decision under Section R315-270-155.
