- (1) The permit may be modified, revoked, and reissued, or terminated for cause. The filing of a request by the operator for a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination, or a notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance, does not stay any permit condition.
- (2) The operator shall furnish to the division, within 30 days, any information that the division may request to determine whether cause exists for modifying, revoking, and reissuing, or terminating a permit, or to determine compliance with the permit. The operator shall also furnish to the division, upon request, copies of records required to be kept by the permit.
- (3) The division may, upon their own initiative or at the request of any interested person, review any permit to determine if cause exists to modify, revoke and reissue, or terminate the permit for the reasons specified in Sections R644-7-2 through R644-7-4.
- (4) Any request shall be in writing and contain facts or reasons supporting the request. If the division decides the request is not justified, they shall send the person making the request a brief written response giving a reason for the decision. Denials of requests for modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination are not subject to public notice, comment, or hearings.
- (5) If the division decides to modify or revoke and reissue a permit under Sections R644-7-2 through R644-7-4, they shall prepare a draft permit under Section R644-6-1 incorporating the proposed changes. When a permit is modified, the entire permit is reopened and is subject to revision. The division may request additional information and, in the case of a modified permit, may require the submission of an updated permit application. In the case of revoked and reissued permits, the division shall require, if necessary, the submission of a new application.
- (6) In a permit modification under this section, only those conditions to be modified shall be reopened when a new draft permit is prepared. Any other aspect of the existing permit shall remain in effect for the duration of the unmodified permit. When a permit is revoked and reissued under this section, the entire permit is reopened just as if the permit had expired and was being reissued. During any revocation and reissuance proceeding the permittee shall comply with each condition of the existing permit until a new final permit is reissued.
