49-403. General permits and individual permits; issuance; definition

A. A person may petition the director or control officer for a determination that a particular class or category of sources should be subject to a general permit instead of an individual permit that is issued under this chapter. The petition shall state the grounds for the determination that is the subject of the petition, including how the class or category meets the criteria prescribed in the applicable statute or rule for a general permit. The director or control officer shall either grant or deny the petition within sixty days after its receipt. If the petition is granted, the director or control officer shall initiate the formal process for issuing the general permit within six months. If the petition is denied, the denial is an appealable agency action pursuant to title 41, chapter 6, article 10.

B. For the purposes of this section, "general permit" has the same meaning prescribed in section 41-1001.
