This is all we can expect. Unless there are personal friendships involved to speed things up which nobody would admit to anyways LOL.

“A variance is not a right and is granted at the discretion of the Director. There is no timetable for the Director’s decision. In accordance with §81-1513, a variance cannot be granted that will sanction any violation of state or federal statutes or regulations. A variance cannot be granted to waive or change an existing permit condition or limit. A variance cannot be granted to sanction construction that was already started prior to obtaining a required construction permit. Please refer to the full text of the statute and regulations for additional information.”
