POLICY STATEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY
[Filed December 19, 1996, 11:28 a.m.]
Purpose: To comply with section 12(4), chapter 206, Laws of 1996, the Department of Ecology submits the following:
Description of the Subject Matter: Policy 3-11: Dangerous Waste Management Facilities: Late and/or Inadequate Applications for a Final Status Permit. When Department of Ecology review of an application for a hazardous waste management facility permit shows the application is incomplete or inadequate, ecology issues a notice of deficiency (NOD). This policy applies to the issuance of NODs. It also applies when an applicant is late submitting a revised application in response to an NOD. The policy limits the number of NODs issued for an application, establishes deadlines for responding to NODs, and encourages a process in which ecology staff meet frequently with applicants.
Effective Date: December 5, 1996.
To receive a copy of the policy, contact Bert Ponton, Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction Program, Department of Ecology, P.O. Box 47600, Olympia, WA 98504-7600, (360) 407-6700.
