The permit effective date is delayed (July 1, 2012) to allow permittees time to modify their facility processes and procedures to meet the requirements of the final permit.  The Division encourages permittees to start this process now

Certifications are being issued now with the intent to complete by the July 1, 2012 effective date. This means certifications will be mailed to permittees between March 15 and July 1. Some may be mailed later than July 1, Permit coverage continues under the current permit(s) until permittee receives the new certification.
