(a) The executive director shall, after review of any application for registration, approve or deny an application in whole or in part. This action shall be based on whether the application meets the requirements of this chapter.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (f) of this section for demonstration facilities, a registration or permit is normally issued for the life of the facility but may be revoked, amended, or modified at any time if the operating conditions do not meet the minimum standards set forth in this chapter or for any other good cause.
(c) When deemed appropriate a registration or permit may be issued for a specific period of time. When an owner or operator has made timely and sufficient application for the renewal of a registration or permit, the existing registration or permit does not expire until the application has been finally determined by the commission.

(h) If a registered mobile liquid waste processing unit does not begin operation within two years of obtaining its registration, the registration shall terminate and no longer be effective.
