Permitting process

(a) This Subchapter implements the permitting process of Part 4, Wastewater and Wastewater Treatment Systems, 27A O.S. § 2-6-401 et seq., and the Oklahoma Uniform Environmental Permitting Act, 27A O.S. § 2-14-101 et seq. (b) Permits are required for the construction or modification of non-industrial wastewater and water reuse systems. (c) The permit application is a two-step process: (1) The first step is the submission of an engineering report (as described in 252:656- 3-4); and (2) The second step is the submission of the final design report along with the required application forms and fees. The final design report shall: (A) include 2 sets of plans and specifications, with at least one set of plans printed on 11" x 17" paper and at least one set of specifications loosely bound and suitable for scanning, and (B) reflect any changes from the approved engineering report. (C) Provided, an authorized design-build project may use the flexible permitting process upon approval by DEQ as provided in these rules. If design-build is used, the final design package must encompass the entire completed project. (d) Unless an extension is granted, a construction permit expires if construction does not begin within one year from the date the permit is issued. (e) Permits to construct or modify non-industrial wastewater and water reuse systems shall only be issued to public entities unless all components of the proposed systems, including all service lines, are located on property: (1) owned by the applicant, or (2) dedicated to the applicant through a recorded easement for the installation and operation of the system.
