18 AAC 15.225. Additional parties and issues

(a) A person who wants to intervene in proceedings granted by the commissioner or designee under 18 AAC 15.220(b) (1) or (b)(3) may serve upon the commissioner a request to intervene that contains the information and meets the requirements specified in 18 AAC 15.200, within 15 days after publication of notice or mailing of notice under 18 AAC 15.220(c) , whichever occurs last. A person requesting to intervene must serve a copy of the request to intervene on each party. An existing party may submit an objection to a request to intervene within 15 days after service of the request.

(b) Each requestor, the permit applicant, and the department office that issued the challenged decision are automatically parties to the proceeding and need not file requests for intervention.

(c) The commissioner or designee will grant or deny the request to intervene within 10 days after the expiration of the deadline to object. The commissioner or designee will grant the intervention request if the commissioner or designee finds that the potential intervenor meets the standing requirements of 18 AAC 15.220(b) (1)(A) and the potential intervenor's interests are not adequately represented in the adjudication.

(d) If more than one hearing request concerning a department decision, including requests to intervene, is granted, all granted requests will be automatically joined in a single proceeding.
