A. The application for a permit shall be accompanied by a statement showing the names and addresses of the owners of property within one thousand feet of the property line of any land proposed to be permitted and certification that such landowners have been notified by certified mail of the application for a permit unless notified previously. Such residents may file written objections with the Director, and may request a hearing. This section shall apply to initial applications for permits only, and no new notice shall be required for renewal applications or for permits for acreage in addition to that originally permitted.

If such locality has enacted a zoning ordinance, the application shall also be accompanied by a letter from the locality's zoning administrator certifying that the proposed operation, if conducted as proposed, will comply with all applicable zoning requirements.
