25200.11
. (a) On or before July 1, 1993, the department shall take
final action on each application for a hazardous waste facilities
permit to be issued pursuant to Section 25200 for an offsite
hazardous waste facility which is not subject to the time limits
specified in Section 25200.7 and which has been operating under a
grant of interim status pursuant to Section 25200.5 prior to January
1, 1992, if the permit application was submitted to the department
before January 1, 1992. In taking final action pursuant to this
section, the department shall either issue the hazardous waste
facilities permit or make a final denial of the application. The
department may extend final action for one year upon its
determination that the permit application is complete and that more
time is needed for review and evaluation of the application.
(b) On July 1, 1992, interim status granted for any existing
offsite hazardous waste facility, which is not subject to the time
limits specified in Section 25200.7, shall be terminated, unless the
department has received an application for a final hazardous waste
facilities permit pursuant to Section 25200 on or before June 30,
1992.
(c) Except for facilities subject to Section 25201.6, for any
offsite facility, which facility or portion of facility was first
granted interim status pursuant to Section 25200.5 on or after
January 1, 1992, the department shall provide public notice for a
permit determination to issue or deny a hazardous waste facilities
permit for the facility, including a permit modification to
incorporate a portion of a facility operating under a grant of
interim status, not later than the following dates:
(1) For interim status that was first granted on or after January
1, 1992, but prior to January 1, 1994, not more than four years from
the date that interim status was first granted.
(2) For interim status that was first granted on or after January
1, 1994, but prior to January 1, 1996, not more than three years from
the date that interim status was first granted.
(3) For interim status that was granted on or after January 1,
1996, not more than two years from the date that interim status was
first granted.
(d) For purposes of complying with this section, any change in the
owner or operator of the hazardous waste facility shall not affect
the applicability of this section with respect to permit
determinations required for the facility, including a permit
modification to incorporate a portion of the facility operating under
a grant of interim status.
(e) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), on or before July 1,
1997, for any facility operating under a grant of interim status
pursuant to Section 25200.5, based on operations conducted on
November 19, 1980, the department shall review the basis for the
grant of interim status, including any amendments of that grant, and
shall prepare status reports concerning the results of that review.
If the department discovers an error in the scope of a grant of
interim status made before July 1, 1997, and the error was caused in
whole, or in part, by an intentional or negligent false statement or
representation in the documents filed for purposes of establishing or
obtaining interim status, the department shall take immediate action
to correct the error, to the full extent authorized by law. In
determining whether the scope of a grant of interim status made
before July 1, 1997, complies with this chapter, the department shall
require evidence other than facility owner or operator or employee
declarations pertaining to previous activities that are the basis for
that eligibility for interim status.
(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply to a facility for which, on or
before March 1, 1997, a draft permit has been issued by and is being
processed by the department, a draft environmental impact report, or
other appropriate document prepared pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (Division 13 (commencing with Section
21000) of the Public Resources Code) has been issued and made
available for public comment and the environmental impact report or
other document prepared pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act considers all impacts to the environment from facility
operations, including, at a minimum, all changes to operations since
November 19, 1980, that were not addressed by a previous finally
approved document prepared pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act. The issuance of an appropriate document under the
California Environmental Quality Act shall be deemed to have been
issued for purposes of this paragraph if the lead agency has
determined in writing that no further document is necessary under
that act for purposes of the permit issuance.
