(1) Upon the consent of the operator, the division may modify a permit to make the corrections or allowances for changes in the permitted activity listed in this section without issuing a draft permit and providing for public comment. Minor modifications may only:
- (a) Correct typographical errors;
- (b) Require more frequent monitoring or reporting by the operator;
- (c) Change an interim compliance date in a schedule of compliance, provided the new date is not more than 120 days after the date specified in the existing permit and does not interfere with attainment of the final compliance date requirement;
- (d) Allow for a change in ownership or operational control of a CO2 Sequestration facility where the division determines that no other change in the permit is necessary, provided that a written agreement containing a specific date for transfer of permit responsibility, coverage, and liability between the current and new operator has been submitted to the division as per Section R644-7-5;
- (e) Change quantities or concentrations of fluids injected that are within the capacity of the CO2 Sequestration facility as permitted and, in the judgment of the division, would not interfere with the operation of the CO2 Sequestration facility or its ability to meet conditions prescribed in the permit, and would not change its classification;
- (f) Change construction requirements or plans approved by the division provided that any such alteration shall comply with the requirements of this section and Rule R644-9. No such changes may be physically incorporated into construction of the well prior to approval; or
- (g) Amend a Class VI well testing and monitoring plan, plugging plan, post-injection site care and site closure plan, or emergency and remedial response plan where the modifications merely clarify or correct the plan, as determined by the division.
