7852.3300 DELAY IN ROUTE CONSTRUCTION.

When the commission issues a pipeline routing permit, the permittee may begin construction or improvement of the route in accordance with the conditions of the permit and this chapter. However, if construction and improvement have not begun within four years after the pipeline routing permit has been issued by the commission, the commission shall suspend the permit. If at that time, or at a later time after suspension, the permittee decides to construct the proposed pipeline, it shall certify to the commission that there have been no significant changes in any material aspects of the conditions or circumstances existing when the permit was issued. If the commission determines that there are no significant changes, it shall reinstate the permit. If the commission determines that there is a significant change, it may order public information meetings or a new hearing and consider the matter further, or it may require the permittee to submit a new application.
