If requested by the permit applicant, the department may extend the processing period beyond the applicable 180 or 240-day time limit. A processing period extension is effective after a formal agreement is signed by both the applicant and the department.

The failure of the department to act on an application that includes all the information required pursuant to R 336.1203(1) and (2) within the time frames specified in this subrule may be considered a final permit action solely for the purpose of obtaining judicial review in a court of competent jurisdiction to require that action be taken by the department without additional delay.Mich.
