Provided that the issuance of a permit renewal by the department has been delayed past the expiration date of the permittee's previous permit at no fault of the applicant, the permittee may continue the specific activities authorized by the expired permit until the department has acted on such person's application for renewal. To qualify for this allowance, applicants must submit a completed renewal application to the department at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of their permit. The department may deny renewal of a permit to any applicant who fails to meet the issuance criteria set forth by the department.
