A written decision shall be issued. The decision shall either deny the petition and state the reasons for such denial, or grant the petition and state either (a) the petitioner may file the application and supporting documentation, or (b) the Department will proceed to process the existing filed application. Any decision approving a petition shall not bind the Director to approve any application to which it relates, or in any way be used as evidence of prejudice for the Director's future decisions concerning the specific approval requirements of such application. Allowance of a leave to file does not negate the necessity to meet the specific approval requirements for an appropriation.
