There are also decision and recommendation time frames and possible meetings and hearings involved in the application process. These are discussed in more detail later in this letter. I am sending you several documents at this time and will follow up with others as they become available. There are also a few items which need to be clarified. !.) Inspection Report, and Decision D:~e Date Enclosed is a copy of our October 17, 2000 Preoperational inspection report for the site. Please note, as discussed in this report, that the original decision due date of December 19, 2000 has been changed. The Division has determined that the application qualifies as a complex permit application, and therefore has extended the decision due date to Monday, February 19, 2001. Itis possible that if the applicant adequately responds to the Divisions concerns, and if a Board Hearing is required, this application may be considered during the Januaq- 24-25, 2001 Board Meeting. 2.)
