Section 7102-6.0 - Consolidation of permit processing

6.1 Whenever a facility or activity requires a permit under more than one statute covered by these regulations, processing of two or more applications for those permits may be consolidated. The first step in consolidation is to prepare each draft permit at the same time.

6.2 Whenever draft permits are prepared at the same time, fact sheets (Section 9.0), public comment periods (Section 10.0), and any public hearings conducted pursuant to 7 Del. C. § 6006 or any amending or superseding legislation on those permits may also be consolidated. The final permits may be issued together. They need not be issued together if in the judgment of the Department, joint processing would result in unreasonable delay in the issuance of one or more permits.

6.3 Whenever an existing facility or activity requires additional permits under one or more of the statutes covered by these Regulations, the Department may coordinate the expiration date(s) of the new permit(s) with the expiration date(s) of the existing permit(s) so that all permits expire simultaneously. Processing of the subsequent applications for renewal permits may then be consolidated.

6.4 Processing of permit applications may be consolidated as follows: The Department may consolidate permit processing and or draft permits at the Department's discretion whenever a facility or activity requires multiple DNREC permits.
