NOTICE OF INTENT TO FILE APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATION OF SITE APPROVAL (§
10.1-1437)

A. Any person may submit to the Board a notice of intent to file an application
for a certification of site approval. The notice shall be in such form as the
Board may prescribe by regulation. Knowingly falsifying information, or
knowingly withholding any material information, shall void the notice and shall
constitute a felony punishable by confinement in the penitentiary for one year
or, in the discretion of the jury or the court trying the case without a jury,
confinement in jail for not more than twelve months, a fine of not more than
$10,000, or both.
			Any state agency filing a notice of intent shall include therein a statement
explaining why the Commonwealth desires to build a hazardous waste facility and
how the public interest would be served thereby.

B. Within forty-five days of receipt of such a notice, the Board shall determine
whether it is complete. The Board shall reject any incomplete notice, advise the
applicant of the information required to complete it, and allow reasonable time
to correct any deficiencies.

C. Upon receipt of the notice, the Board, at the applicant&#8217;s expense,
shall:

   1. Deliver or cause to be delivered a copy of the notice of intent together
   with a copy of this article to the governing body of each host community and
   to each person owning property immediately adjoining the site of the proposed
   facility; and

   2. Have an informative description of the notice published in a newspaper of
   general circulation in each host community once each week for four successive
   weeks. The description shall include the name and address of the applicant, a
   description of the proposed facility and its location, the places and times
   where the notice of intent may be examined, the address and telephone number
   of the Board or other state agency from which information may be obtained, and
   the date, time and location of the initial public briefing meeting on the
   notice.
