Title 46 WATER, AIR, ENERGY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
Chapter 46.35. PERMIT COORDINATION AND EXTENSION
Sec. 46.35.030. Master application.

(a) A person proposing a project that requires the issuance of one or more permits may submit a master application to the department requesting the issuance of all permits and documents necessary before the construction and operation of the project in the state. The master application must be on a form established by the department and must contain sufficient information as to the location and the nature of the project, including discharge of wastes and use of or interference with natural resources of the state.

(b) Upon receipt of a properly completed master application, the department shall immediately forward a copy of the application to all heads of executive departments of the state and the chief elected official of all municipalities in which a portion of the project is proposed to be constructed, together with the date by which the agency shall respond to the master application.

(c) Each agency notified shall respond in writing to the department by the specified date, not exceeding 15 days from receipt, as determined by the department, advising

(1) whether the agency has an interest in the master application;

(2) if the response to (1) of this subsection is affirmative, the permit program under the agency's jurisdiction to which the project described in the master application is pertinent; and

(3) whether, in relation to the master application, a public hearing as provided in AS 46.35.050 and 46.35.060 would be in the public interest.

(d) Each notified agency that (1) responds within the specified date that it does not have an interest in the master application; or (2) does not respond as required within the specified date, may not subsequently require a permit of the applicant for the project described in the master application unless the master application contained false, misleading, or deceptive information, or other information or lack of information that would reasonably lead an agency to misjudge its interest in the master application.

(e) The department shall submit application forms relating to permit programs identified in affirmative responses under (c) of this section to the applicant with a direction to complete and return them to the department within a reasonable time as specified by the department.

(f) When the applications, properly completed, have been returned to the department, each of the applications shall be transmitted to the appropriate state agency for the performance of its responsibilities of decision making in accordance with the procedures of AS 46.35.010 - 46.35.210.
