No application shall be deemed complete unless it is accompanied by a disclosure statement for all key personnel as provided by DEQ Forms DISC-01 and DISC-02.

No application for a permit for a regulated medical waste management facility shall be considered complete unless the notice of intent is accompanied by a certification (DEQ Form Certificate-01) from the governing body of the county, city, or town in which the facility is to be located stating that the location and operation of the facility are consistent with all applicable ordinances. No certification shall be required for the application for an amendment or modification of an existing permit.
