Cal. Health and Safety Code § 25200.8

Any applicant for a final hazardous waste facilities permit pursuant to Section 25200 who receives a notice of deficiency from the department concerning the permit application shall submit the information specified in the notice of deficiency by the date specified in the notice of deficiency or by a later alternative date approved by the department. The department may initiate an enforcement action pursuant to Section 25187 against any hazardous waste facilities permit applicant who does not provide the information specified in the notice of deficiency by the date specified in the notice of deficiency or by a later alternative date approved by the department. If an applicant does not respond to three or more of these notices of deficiency regarding the same or different deficiencies or responds with substantially incomplete or substantially unsatisfactory information on three or more occasions, the department shall, pursuant to regulations adopted by the department, initiate proceedings to deny the permit application. This section does not limit the department’s authority to take action concerning the permit application before sending three notices of deficiency.
