Additional review procedures for mining operations.
Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 740-805
in effectSec. 740-805. - Additional review procedures for mining operations.
The following describes the general procedure for the processing of an Improvement Location Permit application for a mining operation.
Before an application is submitted, the applicant shall request a pre-application meeting with the Administrator to discuss the proposed operation and to clarify application requirements.
1. At any time during the review of an Improvement Location Permit application, the Administrator may request, in writing, additional information that is reasonably necessary to make any findings, determinations, or decisions on an application. A request for additional information shall specify a date by which the Administrator is to receive the additional information. Failure to provide information in a timely manner may be grounds for denial of the application.
2. The Administrator shall review the Improvement Location Permit application and make a determination of completeness within 30 days of receipt of the application. In determining whether or not the application is complete or incomplete, the Administrator shall communicate this determination in writing to the applicant. In the event that the Administrator determines that the application is incomplete, a new completeness review period of 30 days shall commence from the date of receipt of the missing or inadequate information. If the Administrator fails to make a determination of a complete application within the time frames specified above, the application will be deemed complete.
3. Once an Improvement Location Permit application has been determined to be complete, the applicant shall be required to submit a full and complete copy of the application to the Marion County Soil and Water Conservation District, Marion County Surveyor, Marion County Public Health Department, the appropriate water utility, and Indianapolis Department of Public Works, or their successors.
4. The Administrator shall render a decision on the Improvement Location Permit application within 90 days from the acceptance of a complete application, or the latest request for information, whichever occurs last. If the Administrator does not approve or deny the application within 90 days of the determination of a complete application, the application shall be deemed to be approved.
