Section 1130.660  Approval of an Application

a)         The number of affirmative votes required for approval of an application and issuance of a permit by HFSRB is specified in the Act.  HFSRB shall consider the application and any additional information or modification submitted by the applicant, HFSRB staff reports, the public hearing testimony and written comments, if any, and other information coming before it in making its determination whether to approve the project.  Applications are reviewed to determine compliance with review criteria contained in 77 Ill. Adm. Code 1110 and 1120.  The failure of a project to meet one or more of the applicable review criteria shall not prohibit the issuance of a permit.  A permit is effective on the date of HFSRB authorization.

b)         HFSRB may propose conditions to be placed upon any application for permit.  Projects that are approved with conditions or stipulations shall contain the following:

1)         Specified conditions that are expressly agreed to by the applicant;

2)         Establishment of time frames for compliance with conditions;

3)         Establishment of reporting requirements; and

4)         Assurance that any change to the application for permit does not constitute a Type A modification as delineated in Section 1130.650(a) that would require a public hearing.

c)         A permit holder's failure to comply with any conditions within the prescribed time frames, without a previously authorized extension, shall provide a basis for HFSRB to invalidate the permit, or issue conditions, fines or other penalties or sanctions mandated in the Act and Section 1130.790.
