Is the 60-day timeline for holding an informational meeting measured from the date of first receipt of an application or from the date the EA determines the application is complete and correct?
Answer 2: The 60-day timeline is measured from the date the EA receives the permit application. During those 60 days, the EA has 30 days to determine if the application is complete and correct [27 CCR Section 21650(b); see also 27 CCR Section 21570(f)]. If the application is complete and correct, the EA must conduct its preliminary evaluation leading to its proposed determination as to whether a permit revision is required, whether the proposed revision would comply with state law and whether CEQA analysis must be conducted before making such a decision [PRC Section 44004(d)]. The EA then has (at least) the remaining 30 days of the 60-day period to hold a public informational meeting on its tentative decision [PRC Section 44004(h)(1)(A)]. If the application is not complete and correct, the EA must reject it within 30 days and so notify the operator [27 CCR Sections 21650(b) & (d)] or accept the application as incomplete [27 CCR Section 21650(f)].
