Section 7:14A-15.13 - Obligation to raise issues and provide information during the public comment period

Any applicant or permittee or person interested in being considered a party to an action pursuant to 7:14A-17.3 who believes that any action under 7:14A-15.10(a) is inappropriate shall raise all reasonably ascertainable issues and submit, in writing to the Department by certified mail (return receipt requested), or by other means which provides verification of the date of delivery to the Department all such reasonably ascertainable arguments and factual grounds supporting them, including all supporting materials, by the close of the public comment period. If an applicant or permittee or any person fails to raise any reasonably ascertainable issues within the public comment period, the right to raise or contest any such issues in any subsequent adjudicatory hearing or appeal shall be deemed to have been waived. All supporting materials shall be included in full and may not be incorporated by reference, unless they are already part of the administrative record in the same proceeding, or consist of State or Federal statutes and regulations, USEPA documents of general applicability, or other generally available reference materials. Commenters shall make any supporting material incorporated by reference available at the request of the Department.
