          (2)   An application for a disposal permit must—
                (a)   be in the approved form; and
                (b)   be supported by enough information to enable the
                      administering authority to decide the application,
                      including, for example, relevant information about the
                      likely risks to the environment and how it is intended to
                      dispose of the contaminated soil; and
                (c)   be accompanied by the application fee prescribed under
                      a regulation.
          (3)   The administering authority must decide the application
                within 10 business days after receiving it.
          (4)   In making its decision whether to grant or refuse an
                application for a disposal permit, or the conditions of the
                permit, the administering authority must consider the standard
                criteria.
          (5)   The administering authority must within 8 business days after
                making its decision—
                (a)   if the decision is to grant the application—give the
                      applicant the permit; and
                (b)   if the decision is to grant the application but to impose
                      conditions on the permit—give the applicant an
                      information notice about the decision to impose the
                      conditions; or
                (c)   if the decision is to refuse the application—give the
                      applicant an information notice about the decision.
          (6)   If the administering authority fails to make a decision about
                an application for a disposal permit within the time it is
                required to make a decision on the application, the failure is
                taken to be a decision by the authority to refuse the
                application at the end of the time.
