Section 11.04 - Determination Whether an Impasse Exists(1) At any time subsequent to the submission of a negotiation status report pursuant to 990 CMR 11.03, the Department, the developer or the local assessment committee may notify the Council that an impasse in the negotiation of a siting agreement exists.(2) In response to such notification and upon investigation the Council may(a) determine that such an impasse exists, or(b) may determine that an extension of negotiations for a period of 30 days appears warranted. The Council may extend the period for negotiations beyond this additional 30 day period only upon written request of both the developer and the local assessment committee. Such joint request shall state the basis for the parties' belief that a further extension would lead to the execution of a siting agreement.(3) The Council shall notify the local assessment committee and the developer of its decision, either that an impasse exists or that an extension of the time for negotiations appears warranted.
