(b) In conducting a review of the application, the Department shall include a review of the disclosure statement and investigative report.

(c) In its discretion, the Department may issue a temporary license for not more than six months at a time to an applicant or permittee if such issuance is necessary to prevent or ameliorate a hazard to the public health, safety or the environment; to prevent economic hardship to a public body; or the issuance of a temporary license otherwise serves some interest of the general public.

The renewal of a temporary license in all cases is conditional upon the applicant or permittee signing an agreement that it will cease its solid waste or hazardous waste operations upon the expiration date of the temporary license if not renewed by the Department and a license has not been approved by the Department, or upon order of the Department.
