Section 22a-116-B-3 - Application procedure(a)Who shall apply.(1) The owner or operator of a proposed facility subject to the requirement of certification under Section 22a-117 of the Connecticut General Statutes shall apply to the Council for a certificate pursuant to the application provisions of Section 22a-118 of the Connecticut General Statutes. When a proposed facility is to be owned by one person, but operated by another person, both owner and operator, if known at the time of filing, must sign the application.(b)Public notice. In addition to the public notice requirements of subsection (e) of Section 22a-118 of the Connecticut General Statutes, such notice shall contain the following sentence: "The chief elected official of any municipality which wishes to be represented on the Council as the most affected neighboring municipality may apply within 20 days for such status to the Council in accordance with Section 22a-116 -B-4 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies."
(c)Completeness review. (1) No certificate of public safety and necessity shall be granted to any person until a complete application containing all information deemed relevant by the Council has been filed. Relevant information shall at a minimum include that listed in Section 22a-118 of the Connecticut General Statutes and Section 22a-122-1 of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, unless an explanation of irrelevancy is provided for any item omitted from an application, along with a description of siting criteria and the narrowing process by which other possible sites were considered and eliminated. The Council will reserve final judgment of an item's relevancy.(2) As soon as practicable after receipt of an application, the Council shall notify the applicant in writing as to the completeness of the application. If an applicant fails or refuses to correct any deficiencies in the manner directed and within the time prescribed by the Council, the application may be denied and rejected for lack of proper submission.(3) A determination by the Council that an application is complete at the initiation of the certification process shall not preclude the Council from requiring the applicant to submit additional information subsequently determined to be necessary for a proper and complete evaluation of the proposed hazardous waste facility.Conn.
