Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Modifications to Pending Applications.
Prior to a final Agency decision on whether to grant coverage
				  under a general NPDES permit for which a fee has been paid under this Part, the
				  applicant may propose modifications to the Notice of Intent in accordance with
				  the Act and regulations adopted under the Act without any additional fee
				  becoming due, unless the proposed modifications would cause additional fees to
				  be due under Section
				  325.205. If the
				  proposed modification would cause additional fees to become due, the applicant
				  shall submit the additional fee to the Agency with the proposed modifications
				  to the Notice of Intent for a General NPDES permit or prior to permit issuance
				  for an individual NPDES permit.
b) Modifications to Existing Permits.
A permit holder with coverage under an NPDES general permit
				  may propose modifications to the Notice of Intent to pursue coverage under that
				  general NPDES permit in accordance with the Act and regulations adopted under
				  the Act without any additional fee becoming due, unless the proposed
				  modifications would cause additional fees to be due under Section 325.205. If
				  the proposed modification would cause additional fees to become due, the
				  applicant shall submit the additional fee to the Agency with the proposed
				  modifications to the Notice of Intent for a General NPDES permit or prior to
				  permit issuance for an individual NPDES permit.
c) If the applicant proposes a modification
				prior to a final Agency decision on whether to grant coverage under a general
				NPDES permit for which a fee has been paid under this Part, any applicable
				waiting periods for coverage under the general permit shall commence on the
				date that the modification and any required fee is received.
d) If modifications to a Notice of Intent to
				pursue coverage under a general NPDES permit are received by the Agency from
				the applicant within 90 days after the date of denial of coverage under the
				general NPDES permit by the Agency, and if the modifications would allow
				coverage under the general NPDES permit to be approved, coverage will be issued
				without additional fees becoming due under this Part, unless the proposed
				modifications cause an increase in the required fee under Section 325.205. If
				the modifications cause an increase in the fees due under Section 325.205, the
				applicant shall submit the additional fee to the Agency with the
				modification.
e) Except in those
				cases where a permit denial or specified permit conditions have been appealed
				to the Illinois Pollution Control Board in accordance with Section 40 of the
				Act, modifications to Notices of Intent to pursue coverage under general NPDES
				permits received by the Agency more than 90 days after the date of a denial of
				coverage under a general NPDES permit by the Agency shall be considered new
				applications subject to the fees specified in Section 325.205.
