Any person, including users, may petition the Director, or his designated representative, to reconsider the terms of a wastewater discharge permit within 30 days of its issuance.
(1) failure to submit a timely petition for review shall be deemed to be a waiver of the administrative appeal.
(2) in its petition, the appealing party must indicate the wastewater discharge permit provisions objected to, the reasons for this objection and the alternative conditions, if any, it seeks to place in the wastewater discharge permit.
(3) the effectiveness of the wastewater discharge permit shall not be stayed pending the appeal.
