A. Each state environmental agency and each state agency with limited environmental responsibilities, within its areas of environmental jurisdiction, shall promulgate, by rule, time periods for issuance or denial of permits and licenses that are required by law. Any such matter requiring an individual proceeding shall be resolved in accordance with the rules of the agency and any applicable statutes. The rules shall provide that such time periods shall only be extended by agreement with the licensee or permittee or if circumstances outside the agency's control prevent that agency from meeting its time periods. If the agency fails to issue or deny a permit or license within the required time periods because of circumstances outside of the agency's control, the agency shall state in writing the reasons such licensing or permitting is not ready for issuance or denial.
B. 1. Each state environmental agency and each state agency with limited environmental responsibilities shall promulgate rules establishing time periods for complaint resolution as required by law.
2. Complaints received by any state environmental agency or state agency with limited environmental responsibilities concerning a site or facility permitted by or which clearly falls within the jurisdiction of another state environmental agency or state agency with limited environmental responsibilities shall be immediately referred to the appropriate agency for investigation and resolution. Such investigation shall be made by the appropriate division and employees of the appropriate agency.
C. Any person, as defined in Section 2-1-102 of this title, who performs environmental investigation or remediation work which is regulated by the Corporation Commission, must first receive a license for performing investigative or remediation work from the Corporation Commission.
