the director if required by section
3734.05 of
the Revised Code.

operator has demonstrated that appropriate approvals and authorizations have
been obtained including but not limited to approvals and authorizations
required pursuant to Chapters 3704. and 6111. of the Revised Code.

effective order issued by the director, the approved board of health, the
environmental review appeals commission, or a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(8) The owner or
operator submitted a complete license application for renewal to the licensing
authority by December thirty-first of the current license period.
(9) Financial assurance for the facility has
been established and maintained for closure and post-closure care, as
applicable, and documentation of the financial assurance has been submitted in
accordance with Chapter 3714. or Chapter 3734. of the Revised Code and rules

(10) The owner

administrative consent order or judicial consent order to attain compliance
with Chapters 3704., 3714., 3734., 3745., and 6111. of the Revised Code. An
owner or operator is not in substantial compliance with Chapters 3704., 3714.,
3734., and 6111. of the Revised Code if the owner or operator has committed a
significant or material violation of an environmental law or has committed
numerous, other violations of environmental laws such that the violations
reveal a practice of noncompliance with environmental laws.
(11) The owner and operator, at facilities
they own or operate or facilities they previously owned or operated, have
maintained a history of compliance with Chapters 3704., 3714., 3734., 3745.,
and 6111. of the Revised Code by resolving all administrative and judicial
enforcement actions that were brought against them which were based on a
significant or material violation of an environmental law, or were based on
numerous, other violations of environmental laws that revealed a practice of
noncompliance with environmental laws. For purposes of this rule, an
enforcement action has been resolved if the owner or operator has entered into
an administrative consent order or judicial consent order with regard to the
violation of environmental laws, or the owner or operator has adjudicated the
issue of whether they are in violation of environmental laws to
finality.
(12) The owner and
operator exhibit sufficient reliability, expertise, and competency to operate
the facility in substantial compliance with environmental laws in this state as
a result of, and including but not limited to, the assets, employees,
equipment, and other resources available at, and dedicated to, the
facility.
(13) For a construction
and demolition debris facility, all portions of the proposed facility meet the
requirements of rule
3745-400-06
of the Administrative Code.
(14)
For a construction and demolition debris processing facility, the application
demonstrates compliance with the applicable provisions of divisions (E) and (F)

3714.06
of the Revised Code.

construction and demolition debris facility and a co-located processing
facility is the owner or operator of both the construction and demolition
debris facility and the co-located processing facility.
(B) Grounds for denial. The
licensing authority may deny a license application request for any of the
following reasons:
(1) Any of the criteria in
paragraph (A) of this rule that are applicable to the facility are not
met.
(2) The license application is
incomplete and the applicant has not addressed a notice of deficiency
identified by the licensing authority not later than thirty days after receipt
of the notice of deficiency.
(3)
Falsification of any material information that is required to be submitted to a
licensing authority as part of the license application.
(4) A violation of Chapter 3714. or Chapter
3734. of the Revised Code or any rule adopted under those chapters, including a
violation of a term or condition of the facility's license.
(C)
While
a single license governing a construction and demolition debris facility and a
co-located processing facility issued in accordance with this rule is
effective, the single license shall be construed to satisfy the requirement to
obtain a permit to install for the co-located processing facility in division
(H) of section
