The process looks very extensive and somewhat exhausting. See Appendix A for timeline. Keep in mind this is the first time they will be using these new rules for a permit ...not sure if this is good or bad. Probably means it won't be rushed, but just my guess.

Part of the requirements are for a Financial Assurance (bond), see link below for some info. on that.

As long as they comply with everything and meet the requirements (especially the financial assurance), then it is really just a matter of cost and time before they get the permit from the DEQ.
