Section 33-24-07-27 - Information repository1. Applicability. The requirements of this section apply to all applications seeking hazardous waste permits for hazardous waste management units. 2. The department may assess the need, on a case-by-case basis, for an information repository. When assessing the need for an information repository, the department shall consider a variety of factors, including the level of public interest; the type of facility; the presence of an existing repository; and the proximity to the nearest copy of the administrative record. If the department determines, at any time after submittal of a permit application, that there is a need for a repository, then the department shall notify the facility that it must establish and maintain an information repository. (See subsection 13 of section 33-24-06-04 for similar provisions relating to the information repository during the life of a permit.) 3. The information repository shall contain all documents, reports, data, and information deemed necessary by the department to fulfill the purposes for which the repository is established. The department may limit the contents of the repository. 4. The information repository must be located and maintained at a site chosen by the facility. If the department finds the site unsuitable for the purposes and persons for which it was established, due to problems with the location, hours of availability, access, or other relevant considerations, then the department shall specify a more appropriate site. 5. The department shall specify requirements for informing the public about the information repository. At a minimum, the department shall require the facility to provide a written notice about the information repository to all individuals on the facility mailing list. 6. The facility owner or operator shall be responsible for maintaining and updating the repository with appropriate information throughout a time period specified by the department. The department may close the repository at its discretion, based on the factors in subsection 2. N.D. Admin Code 33-24-07-27
