(a) An application for permit to install any new air contaminant source or control equipment shall be approved or denied by the Commissioner within sixty (60) calendar days after it is filed in the office of the Division of Air Pollution Control.
(b) An application for permit to modify any existing air contaminant source or control equipment shall be approved or denied by the Commissioner within sixty (60) calendar days after it is filed in the office of the Division of Air Pollution. If such application for permit to modify is not acted upon by the Commissioner within said sixty (60) day time period, the application for permit to modify shall serve as authorization for the applicant to commence with work on such modification. Such authorization shall not be construed to prevent the Commissioner from approving or denying the application for permit to modify at a later date. Nor shall such authorization be construed as relieving the applicant of the responsibility of meeting the requirements of other applicable provisions of this Code nor shall it serve as a guarantee of immunity from prosecution or legal action for violations of other applicable provisions of this Code.
(c) Approval of the application for a permit to install or modify may, at the discretion of the Commissioner, include a condition requiring emission tests to be conducted upon completion of installation for which the permit to install or modify has been issued, and other special terms and conditions, to establish compliance with the emission limitations of this Code. The Commissioner shall notify the person applying for the permit to install or modify of his or her approval, or reasons for denial, of the application in writing. Upon the approval of the application and upon payment of the prescribed fees, the Commissioner shall issue a permit for the installation or modification of such air contaminant source or control equipment.
