If a local authority denies the emergency seawall or revetment permit, the local authority shall provide the reasons for the denial in a single response to the person. A person may submit not more than one (1) completed reapplication for an emergency seawall or revetment permit that lists reasons why the local authority should approve the person's emergency permit. Not later than ten (10) business days after the person submits the completed reapplication, a local authority shall:

1. (1) approve; or

2. (2) deny;

   the person's reapplication for the emergency permit. If a local authority does not approve or deny the person's reapplication for the emergency seawall or revetment permit within ten (10) business days, the emergency permit is automatically approved and considered issued to the person.
