Section 335-14-8-.02 - Permit Application - Treatment, Storage And Disposal Facilities

(1)General application requirements.

(a) Permit application. Any person who is required to have a permit (including new applicants and permittees with expiring permits) shall complete, sign, and submit an application to the Department as described in 335-14-8-.02(1) and 335-14-8-.07(1) through (4). Persons currently authorized with interim status shall apply for permits when required by the Department. Procedures for applications, issuance and administration of emergency permits are found exclusively in 335-14-8-.06(1). Procedures for application, issuance and administration of research, development, and demonstration permits are found exclusively in 335-14-8-.06(4).

(b) Who applies? When a facility or activity is owned by one person but is operated by another person, it is the operator's duty to obtain a permit, except that the owner must also sign the permit application.

(c) Completeness. The Department shall not issue a permit before receiving a complete application for a permit except for emergency permits. An application for a permit is complete when the Department receives an application form and any supplemental information which are completed to its satisfaction. An application for a permit is complete notwithstanding the failure of the owner or operator to submit the exposure information described in 335-14-8-.02(1)(j). The Department may deny a permit for the active life of a hazardous waste management facility or unit before receiving a complete application for a permit.

(d) Information requirements. All permit applicants shall provide the information set forth in 335-14-8-.02(4) and the applicable provisions in 335-14-8-.02(5) through (19).

(e) Existing HWM facilities and interim status qualifications.

1. Owners and operators of existing hazardous waste management facilities or of hazardous waste management facilities in existence on the effective date of statutory or regulatory amendments under the AHWMMA that render the facility subject to the requirement to have an AHWMMA Permit must submit Part A of their permit application not later than:

(i) Six months after the date of publication of regulations which first require them to comply with the standards set forth in Chapters 335-14-5 or 335-14-6; or

(ii) Thirty days after the date they first become subject to the standards set forth in 335-14-5 or 335-14-6, whichever first occurs.

(iii) For generators generating greater than 100 kilograms but less than 1000 kilograms of hazardous waste in a calendar month and treats, stores, or disposes of these wastes on-site, by March 24, 1987.

2. At any time the owner and operator of an existing HWM facility may be required to submit Part B of their permit application. Any owner or operator will be allowed 180 days from the date of request to submit Part B of the permit application. Any owner or operator of an existing HWM facility may submit Part B of the permit application at any time.

3. Failure to submit a complete Part B permit application within 180 days after a request from the Department is grounds for termination of the facility's Interim Status.

(f) New HWM facilities.

1. Except as provided in 335-14-8-.02(1)(f)3., no person shall begin physical construction of a new HWM facility without having submitted Part A and Part B of the permit application and having received a finally effective AHWMMA permit.

2. An application for a permit for a new HWM facility may be filed any time after the promulgation of those standards in 335-14-5 applicable to such facility.

3. Notwithstanding 335-14-8-.02(1)(f)1., a person may construct a facility for the incineration of polychlorinated biphenyls pursuant to an approval issued by the EPA Regional Administrator under Section (6)(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act and any person owning or operating such a facility may, at any time after construction or operation of such facility has begun, file an application for a AHWMMA permit to incinerate hazardous waste authorizing such facility to incinerate waste identified or listed under Subtitle C of RCRA.

(g) Updating permit applications.

1. If any owner or operator of a HWM facility has filed Part A of a permit application and has not yet filed Part B, the owner or operator shall file an amended Part A application:

(i) No later than the effective date of changes to 335-14-2 listing or identifying additional wastes as hazardous if the facility is treating, storing, or disposing of the wastes newly listed or identified; or

(ii) As necessary to comply with 335-14-8-.07(3) for changes during interim status.

2. The owner or operator of a facility who fails to comply with the updating requirements of 335-14-8-.02(1)(g)1. does not receive an Interim Status Permit as to the wastes not covered by duly filed Part A applications.

(h) Reapplications. Any HWM facility with an effective permit shall submit a new application at least 180 days before the expiration date of the effective permit, unless permission for a later date has been granted by the Department; but in no case shall the Department grant permission for the application to be submitted later than the expiration date of the existing permit.

(i) Recordkeeping. Applicants shall keep records of all data used to complete applications and any supplemental information submitted under 335-14-8-.02(1)(d) and 335-14-8-.02(4) through (12) for a period of at least 3 years from the date the application is signed.
