activity.
(b) A prospective
applicant seeking a preapplication conference shall submit to the address below

administratively complete, including:

application form(s) required for an administratively complete
application;
2. Any documents or
other written submissions required to be filed with the application under this
chapter; and
3. Any filing, notice,
hearing or other requirement that is a precondition for review and processing

otherwise required under Federal or State law, or rule or regulation
promulgated thereunder, or an order of the court. However, if an application is
determined to be administratively incomplete, the date of filing shall be the
date that the information required for an administratively complete application
is filed with the Department. Any revision to a technical manual shall have no
effect upon a permit application that was submitted to the Department prior to
the date of the revision. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to:
1. Exempt an applicant from complying with
all Federal and State laws, or rules or regulations adopted thereunder,
including compliance with the requirements of a permit issued by the

enforcement action available to the Department pursuant to law.
