Alaska Admin. Code tit. 20, § 25.1160 – Duration; storage facility permit

(a) Upon approval of a storage facility permit, the commission will issue the permit for the operating life of the facility and the post-injection site care period specified in the permit. The commission will review each storage facility permit, including each associated Class VI well permit, not less than once every five years to determine if it should be modified, revoked and reissued, terminated, or a minor modification made as provided in this chapter. The term of a permit may not be extended by modification beyond the maximum duration specified in this subsection except as provided in (d) of this section.
(b) The commission may issue a storage facility permit for a duration that is less than the full allowable term under (a) of this section.
(c) A storage facility permit, including a Class VI well permit and authorization to inject for a Class VI well, may only be transferred, modified, revoked and reissued, terminated, or a minor modification made as provided in 20 AAC 25.1410 or, 20 AAC 25.1430, as applicable.
(d) The conditions of an expired storage facility permit may continue until the effective date of a new permit if the storage operator has submitted a timely and complete application under 20 AAC 25.1080, and the commission, through no fault of the storage operator, does not issue a new permit with an effective date on or before the expiration date of the previous permit. A permit continued under this subsection remains fully effective and enforceable. When a storage operator is not in compliance with the terms of an expiring or expired storage facility permit, the commission may
1. (1) initiate enforcement action, including civil penalties under AS 41.06.180;
2. (2) issue a notice of intent to deny the new permit; in the event of a notice of intent to deny, the storage operator must cease activities authorized by the permit, except for approved well plugging and abandonment under 20 AAC 25.1300, or be subject to enforcement action;
3. (3) issue a new permit consistent with the requirements and process of 20 AAC 25.1410; or
4. (4) take other actions authorized by AS 41.06.110 or this chapter.
