The department may issue a permit for a term of five years or any shorter period. Except as provided in 18 AAC 83.155(c) for the administrative continuance of expiring permits, the department will not extend the term of a permit by modification beyond the maximum duration specified in this section.(b) The department may issue a permit to expire on or after the statutory deadline set in 33 U.S.C. 1311(b)(2)(A), (C), and (E) if the permit includes effluent limitations to meet the requirements of 33 U.S.C. 1311(b)(2)(A), (C), (D), (E), and (F), whether or not the EPA has promulgated or approved applicable effluent limitations guidelines.(c) If the department determines that a discharger falls within an industrial category for the purpose of setting a permit expiration date under (b) of this section, that determination does not establish the discharger's industrial category for any other purpose, and does not foreclose either the discharger or the department from a different industrial category determination when a permit is formulated.Eff. 7/29/2006, Register 179Authority:AS 44.46.020
