Response to comments

1. At the time a final standardized permit is issued, the department shall respond to comments received during the public comment period on the draft permit. This response must: a. Specify which additional conditions (for example, those in the supplemental portion), if any, have been changed in the final permit, and the reasons for the change. b. Briefly describe and respond to all significant comments on the facility's ability to meet the general requirements (for example, those terms and conditions in the uniform portion) and on any additional conditions necessary to protect human health and the environment raised during the public comment period or during the hearing. c. Make the comments and responses accessible to the public. 2. The department may request additional information from the facility owner or operator or inspect the facility if additional information is needed to adequately respond to significant comments or to make decisions about conditions that may need to be added to the supplemental portion of the standardized permit.
