- (a) Within 60 days after the date an application is filed in accordance with Env-Sw 303, or by an alternative date established by prior written agreement with the applicant pursuant to RSA 541-A:29, the department shall determine that the application is complete if the application satisfies the content and format requirements specified by the solid waste rules for the type of application filed.
- (b) If the applicant submits any information to complete or amend the application between the date of initial filing and the date the department determines the application is complete, the 60-day review time shall be measured from the date of latest submittal.
- (c) If the application is incomplete, the provisions in Env-Sw 304.05 and Env-Sw 304.06 shall apply.
- (d) If the application is complete, the provisions of Env-Sw 304.07 shall apply.
- (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, the department shall suspend the processing of any application when required by other provisions of law, including RSA 485-C:14. No portion of the suspension time shall be included in computing the time spent processing the application.
- (f) The department shall not determine that an application is complete until all disclosure forms required pursuant to Env-Sw 316 have been filed by the applicant with the NHDOJ.
- (g) An application for a permit-by-notification pursuant to Env-Sw 311 or a type III permit modification pursuant to Env-Sw 315 that is accompanied by a waiver request pursuant to Env-Sw 202 shall be processed in accordance with the time limits for a waiver request.
- (h) During review of an application for a standard permit, research and development permit, Type I-A or I-B permit modification, or Type II permit modification, the department shall request to enter into a written agreement with the applicant for the department to retain, at the applicant’s expense, an independent licensed professional engineer or hydrogeologist (PEG) only when the department requires a PEG’s assistance in determining whether the application is complete in accordance with RSA 149-M:9, XV.
