LAC 33:V.707. Public Comments and Requests for Public Hearings

A. During the public comment period provided under LAC 33:V.715, any interested person may submit written comments on the draft permit or the permit application and may request a public hearing, if no hearing has already been scheduled. A request for a public hearing shall be in writing and shall state the nature of the issues proposed to be raised in the hearing. All comments shall be considered in making the final decision and shall be answered as provided in LAC 33:V.707.B. B. Response to Comments. At the time that any final permit decision is issued, the administrative authority shall issue a response to comments. 1. This response shall specify which provisions, if any, of the draft permit have been changed in the final permit decision, and the reasons for the change, and briefly describe and respond to all significant comments on the draft permit or the permit application raised during the public comment period, or during any hearing. 2. The response to comments shall be available to the public. C. Within 30 days after a final permit decision (or a decision under LAC 33:V.706 to deny a permit for the active life of a hazardous waste management facility or TSD unit) has been issued under LAC 33:V.705, any person who filed comments on that draft permit or participated in the public hearing may petition the administrative authority to review any condition of the permit decision.
