Sec. 22a-183. (Formerly Sec. 19-519). Permit for exemption from regulations.

(b) No permit shall be granted pursuant to this section (1) except after a public hearing held by the commissioner, (2) until the commissioner has considered the relative interests of the applicant, owners of other property likely to be affected by the discharges, and the general public, as specified in section 22a-176 , and (3) unless the commissioner has determined whether the source, either alone or in combination with another source, if granted such permit, endangers public health, safety or welfare or the environment.

(c) The exemption or partial exemption granted by any permit pursuant to this section shall be limited in duration to no more than five years. The Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection may, upon further application pursuant to this section, grant further exemption or partial exemption from the regulations adopted under this chapter for additional periods of not more than five years' duration.

(d) For any application for a permit under this chapter pending before the commissioner on June 1, 1998, for which the commissioner has not published notice of his tentative determination on the application, if the commissioner determines that compliance by an applicant with the requirements of section 22a-6 l is necessary to more adequately apprise the public or abutting landowners of the proposed activity, the commissioner may require compliance with such section.

See Sec. 22a-174d re planting of trees or turf grass as condition of permit.
