Okla. Stat. tit. 27A, § 27A-1-1-203: State environmental agencies - Establishment of rules

for issuance or denial of permits or licenses and complaint

resolution.

A. Each state environmental agency and each state agency with

limited environmental responsibilities, within its areas of

environmental jurisdiction, shall promulgate, by rule, time periods

for issuance or denial of permits and licenses that are required by

law. Any such matter requiring an individual proceeding shall be

resolved in accordance with the rules of the agency and any

applicable statutes. The rules shall provide that such time periods

shall only be extended by agreement with the licensee or permittee

or if circumstances outside the agency's control prevent that agency

from meeting its time periods. If the agency fails to issue or deny

a permit or license within the required time periods because of

circumstances outside of the agency's control, the agency shall

state in writing the reasons such licensing or permitting is not

ready for issuance or denial.

B. 1. Each state environmental agency and each state agency

with limited environmental responsibilities shall promulgate rules

establishing time periods for complaint resolution as required by

law.

2. Complaints received by any state environmental agency or

state agency with limited environmental responsibilities concerning

a site or facility permitted by or which clearly falls within the

jurisdiction of another state environmental agency or state agency

with limited environmental responsibilities shall be immediately

referred to the appropriate agency for investigation and resolution.

Such investigation shall be made by the appropriate division and

employees of the appropriate agency.

C. Any person, as defined in Section 2-1-102 of this title, who

performs environmental investigation or remediation work which is

regulated by the Corporation Commission, must first receive a

license for performing investigative or remediation work from the

Corporation Commission.
