(a) Failure to submit a timely petition for review shall be deemed to be a waiver of the administrative appeal.

(c) The effectiveness of the wastewater discharge permit shall not be stayed pending the appeal.
(d) If the Public Works Director fails to act within 45 days, a request for reconsideration shall be deemed to be denied.
