All applications filed with the department shall be initially

(DERC) or director, as appropriate shall review all applications for
completeness and accuracy before they are accepted as being complete
and officially filed.
(A) The applicant shall be informed in writing within thirty days of
submittal, either that the application is complete and has been accepted
for processing, or that the application is incomplete and that additional
information, specified in the letter, shall be provided.
(B) Where the development and environmental review committee (DERC) or director, as appropriate, has determined that an application is incomplete, and the applicant believes that the application is complete and/or that the information requested by the director is not required, the applicant may appeal the determination, in compliance with Chapter
21.62 (Appeals) of this title.
(C) When an application is incomplete, the time used by the applicant
to submit the required additional information shall not be considered
part of the time within which the determination of completeness shall
occur. The time available to an applicant for submittal of additional
information is limited by following subsection (1)(D) of this section.
(D) Expiration of Application.
(i) If a pending application is not able to be deemed complete within
one hundred eighty days after the first filing with the department,
the application shall expire and be deemed withdrawn.
(ii)
The director may grant one hundred eighty-day extension.
(iii)
A new application, including exhibits, fees, plans and other
materials which shall be required to commence processing of a project
application on the same property, may then be filed in compliance
