Section 309
Section 309.104  Renewal
a)         Any permittee who wishes to continue to discharge after the
expiration date of the NPDES Permit must timely apply for reissuance of the
permit.
1)         A permittee has
submitted a timely application for a new permit when:
A)        The permittee submits:
i)          an application 180 days before the expiration date of the
existing permit; or
ii)         a
request for a waiver in writing to the Agency, the Agency grants a written
waiver to apply less than 180 days before the expiration date of the existing
permit, and the applicant applies within the timeframe listed in the waiver
request.  A waiver request must include the permittee's reasonably justifiable
causes for not meeting the 180-day timeframe.  A waiver of the 180-day
submittal requirement must be filed a minimum of 60 days before the permit
expires, and must include the date by which the permittee must apply.
B)        The Agency must
not grant a waiver for applications to be submitted later than the expiration
date of the existing permit.
C)        Any Agency
decision to deny a waiver request must be made within 21 days after the Agency
receives the waiver request.
2)         The terms and
conditions of an expiring permit remain effective and enforceable against the
discharger until the Agency takes final action on the pending permit
application, only if:
A)        the permittee has
submitted a timely application under subsection (a)(1); and
B)        the Agency, through no fault of the permittee, does not issue a
new permit on or before the expiration date of the previous permit.
b)         All permittees that timely apply for an NPDES permit renewal
must pay an annual NPDES discharge fee under Section 12.5 of the Act.
c)         The Agency must circulate public notice and provide
opportunity for public hearing, as provided for in this Subpart A, in the same
manner as for a new permit application.
