Section 848.702  Application for Tire Storage Permits

a)         Each application for permit required under this Subpart must contain all data and information that is reasonably necessary for the Agency to determine whether the applicant and tire storage site for which the application is submitted will meet all of the requirements of the Act and regulations adopted pursuant to the Act.

b)         The Agency shall prescribe the form on which all information required under this Part must be submitted.

c)         All permit applications must be signed by the owner and the operator of the tire storage site or their duly authorized agents. Applications signed by agents must be accompanied by evidence of authority to sign the application.

d)         All permit applications must be submitted on the form prescribed by the Agency and mailed or delivered to the address designated by the Agency and must be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.

e)         An application for permit is not deemed filed until the Agency has received, at the designated address, all information, documents, and authorization, using the permit application form prescribed by the Agency and providing the content required by this Part. However, if the Agency fails to notify the applicant, within 45 days after the receipt of an application, that the application is incomplete, and of the reasons, the application shall be deemed to have been filed on the date received by the Agency. An applicant may deem the Agency's notification that the application is incomplete as a denial of the permit for purposes of review pursuant to Section 40 of the Act.

f)         If the Agency fails to take final action on the application within 90 days from the filing of the application, the applicant may deem the permit granted on the 91^st day after the application was filed.

g)         Any applicant for a permit may waive the requirement that the Agency take final action within 90 days from the filing of the application.

h)         The Agency must send all notices of final action by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. Final action is deemed to have taken place on the date that the notice is mailed.

i)          Decisions regarding permit applications may be appealed to the Board in accordance with Section 40 of the Act.
