The hearing examiner may summarily dismiss an appeal in whole or in part without hearing if the hearing examiner determines that the appeal is untimely, incomplete, without merit on its face, frivolous, beyond the scope of the hearing examiner’s jurisdiction or brought merely to secure a delay. The hearing examiner may also summarily dismiss an appeal based on lack of standing, in response to a challenge raised by the department whose decision is being appealed or by the permit applicant, and after allowing the appellant a reasonable period in which to reply to the challenge. Except in extraordinary circumstances, summary dismissal orders shall be issued within 15 days following receipt of either an appeal or a request for dismissal, whichever is later.
