Time limit for approving or not approving environment plan
10 Time limit for approving or not approving environment plan
Within 30 days after an operator submits an environment plan, the Minister must —
approve the plan under regulation 11; or
refuse to approve the plan; or
give written notice to the operator stating that the Minister is unable to make a decision about the plan within the period of 30 days, and setting out a proposed timetable for consideration of the plan.
A decision by the Minister to approve, or refuse to approve, an environment plan is not invalid only because the Minister did not comply with subregulation (1) in relation to the plan.
This regulation applies to an environment plan resubmitted in accordance with regulation 11(2) in the same way that it applies to the plan when first submitted.
