Sec. 26.0285. EXPIRATION OF PERMITS WITHIN SAME WATERSHED
-
The commission shall, to the greatest extent practicable, require that all permits for the discharge of waste within a single watershed or within a region of a single watershed contain the same expiration date. The commission shall adopt and implement procedures for the simultaneous review and renewal of all those permits within a watershed or region of a watershed. The purpose of the review is to require comprehensive evaluation of the combined effects of permitted discharges on water quality within the watershed and to facilitate the receipt of information from the public and other entities affected by those discharges. The watershed and river basin monitoring plans described by Section 26.0135(c) shall include targeted monitoring to assist the permitting process.
