Section 3745-50-44 - Contents of "Part B" of the permit application"Part B" information requirements in this rule reflect the standards established in Chapters 3745-54 to 3745-57 and 3745-205 of the Administrative Code. These information requirements are necessary in order to determine compliance with Chapters 3745-54 to 3745-57 and 3745-205 of the Administrative Code. If owners and operators of hazardous waste management facilities can demonstrate that the information prescribed in "Part B" cannot be provided to the extent required, the director may make allowance for submittal of such information on a case-by-case basis. Information required in "Part B" shall be submitted to the director and signed in accordance with rule 3745-50-42 of the Administrative Code. Certain technical data, such as design drawings and specifications, and engineering studies shall be certified by a qualified professional engineer. For post-closure permits, only the information specified in paragraph (C)(14) of this rule is required in "Part B" of the permit application.
