If the Department determines that these terms and conditions are necessary to protect human health and the environment and cannot be imposed, coverage under the standardized permit will be denied.(ii) If the facility is not eligible for the standardized permit, the Department will tentatively deny coverage under the standardized permit. Cause for ineligibility may include the following: (A) Failure of the owner or operator to submit all the information required under 40 CFR 270.275 (relating to what information must I submit to the permitting agency to support my standardized permit application?).(B) Information submitted that is required under 40 CFR 270.275 is determined to be inadequate.(C) The facility does not meet the eligibility requirements (activities are outside the scope of the standardized permit).(D) A demonstrated history of significant noncompliance with applicable requirements.(E) Permit conditions cannot ensure protection of human health and the environment.(3) The Department will prepare a draft permit decision within 120 days after receiving the Notice of Intent and supporting documents from a facility owner or operator.
