Not later than January 1, 1987, the state board shall provide the Legislature with a report containing information regarding the number of applications for exemption which are filed pursuant to Sections 25208.4 and 25208.5. The state board shall include in this report a preliminary workplan detailing plans for implementation of this article.
The time limits set forth in this article are predicated upon the assumption that there will be not more than 300 applications filed pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 25208.4 and subdivision (c) of Section 25208.5. The time limits set forth in this article assume that there are, on the average, three surface impoundments per facility.
It is the intent of the Legislature that if it determines that there are more than 300 applications filed with regional boards with on the average, more than three surface impoundments for each facility, the Legislature will adjust the time limits specified in Sections 25208.4 and 25208.5.
The Legislature hereby recognizes that if there are more than 300 applications filed by January 1, 1986, with the regional boards, the time limits should be adjusted to ensure a thorough analysis of each application.
