Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A. Permits may
				  only be modified or revoked and reissued pursuant to R18-9-C632 or terminated
				  pursuant to R18-9-C634 either at the request of any interested person,
				  including the permittee, or upon the Director's initiative. All requests shall
				  be made in writing and shall contain facts or reasons supporting the
				  request.
B. If the Director decides
				  a request to modify, revoke and reissue, or terminate is not justified, they
				  shall send the requestor a brief written response giving a reason for the
				  decision. Denial of a request to terminate does not require a notice of intent
				  to deny. Denial of a request for modification or revocation and reissuance
				  requires a notice of intent to deny only when the request is made by the
				  permittee, the scope of the request has not previously been requested and
				  denied and the request is not for a minor modification. A notice of intent to
				  deny is a type of draft permit which shall follow the same procedures as any
				  draft permit prepared pursuant to R18-9-C618.
C. If the Director preliminarily decides to
				  modify or revoke and reissue a permit under R18-9-C632, they shall prepare a
				  draft permit under R18-9-C618 incorporating the proposed changes and notify the
				  permittee in writing of the reason for the preliminary decision to modify or
				  revoke and reissue a permit with reference to the statute or rule on which the
				  decision is based. The Director may request additional information and, in the
				  case of a modified permit, may require the submission of an updated
				  application. The Director shall require the submission of a new application in
				  the case of revoked and reissued permits.
D. In a permit modification under this
				  Section, only those conditions to be modified shall be reopened when a new
				  draft permit is prepared. All other aspects 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 modification or
				  revocation and reissuance proceeding the permittee shall comply with all
				  conditions of the existing permit until a new final permit is issued.
E. Minor modifications pursuant to R18-9-C633
				  are not subject to the requirements of this Section.
F. If the Director preliminarily decides to
				  terminate under R18-9-C634(A)(1), (2) or (3), the Director shall issue a notice
				  of intent to terminate that identifies the reason for the preliminary decision
				  to terminate with reference to the statute or rule on which the decision is
				  based. A notice of intent to terminate is not required when a permittee
				  requests termination under R18-9-C634(A)(4). A notice of intent to terminate is
				  a type of draft permit which shall follow the same procedures as any draft
				  permit prepared pursuant to R18-9-C618.
