deny the application by the 120` day, unless the Applicant extends the decision date. Again, the extension may not exceed 365 days beyond the filing date. Provisions of the Act require that an application be automatically approved if the office does not make a decision on the application by the 90`n day, or by the Board, where a timely and sufficient objection is received, by the 120`n day, unless those dates are extended or waived by the Applicant. In the case where an application is set for a Board hearing (the Office receives a written objection within the public comment period), the Office must hold aPre- hearing Conference after the Office has issued its written recommendation and at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the Formal Board Hearing. (You should review the provisions of Rules 2.7.1, and 2,7.2 (attached) which explain the Pre- hearing Conference and process.) Where an objection is received prior to the close of the public comment period, the Office must make its recommendation (not decision) to approve or deny the application on or before the 90`h day of the application being filed with the Office. Again, the Applicant may extend or waive the 90`h day date, but not to exceed the 365`n day from the time the application is considered filed by the Office. The Office is required to mail to all parties its recommendation and rationale for approval or denial at least three working days prior to the Pre-hearing Conference. Upon request, the Office will also send its recommendation and rationale to a party by facsimile or electronic mail. Copies of the Office's recommendation and rationale will also be available at the Pre-hearing Conference. If you have any questions about the application process and your role, please do not hesitate to call the Office at (303) 866-3567. You should ask to speak to the Environmental Specialist in-charge of the application review, or the Specialist's Supervisor. memos/process.doc 6
