Clarifies processes for permit and license applications and hearings for uncontrolled hazardous substance sites in Maine.

This bill amends the Maine Revised Statutes to clarify the processes for permit and license applications and hearings for uncontrolled hazardous substance sites. It specifies that the commissioner must notify applicants if their applications are accepted or not accepted for processing, with certain exceptions. It also mandates public notice for most permit and license applications, except for specific types. The bill requires the commissioner to solicit public comments on each application and mandates presubmission meetings for applicants whose applications are not accepted.
