(2) The Department of Environmental Protection shall provide the property appraiser of each county in which such property is situated a copy of any final agency action relating to an application for such a permit. (3) The provisions of subsection (1) do not apply if: (a) The property owner had no reasonable basis for expecting approval of the application for permit; or (b) The application for permit was denied because of an incomplete filing, failure to meet an applicable deadline, or failure to comply with administrative or procedural requirements.
