Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The following conditions apply to all UIC permits. All
					 conditions applicable to all permits shall be incorporated into the permits
					 issued under this Article, either expressly or referenced by specific citation.
					 If incorporated by reference, a specific citation to this Section must be given
					 in the permit.
1. The permittee must
				  comply with all conditions of any permit issued under this Article. Any permit
				  noncompliance constitutes a violation of this Article and is grounds for
				  enforcement action; for permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or
				  termination; or for denial of a permit renewal application unless otherwise
				  authorized in an emergency permit under R18-9-C625.
2. If the permittee wishes to continue any
				  activity regulated by permit under this Article after the expiration date of
				  this permit, the permittee must apply for and obtain a new permit.
3. It shall not be a defense for a permittee
				  in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce
				  the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of
				  this permit.
4. The permittee shall
				  take all reasonable steps to minimize or correct any adverse impact on the
				  environment resulting from noncompliance with this permit.
5. The permittee shall at all times properly
				  operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control, and
				  related appurtenances, that are installed or used by the permittee to achieve
				  compliance with the conditions of this permit. Proper operation and maintenance
				  includes effective performance, adequate funding, adequate operator staffing
				  and training, and adequate laboratory and process controls, including
				  appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation
				  of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems only when necessary to
				  achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit.
6. This permit may be modified, revoked and
				  reissued, or terminated for cause. The filing of a request by the permittee for
				  a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination, or a
				  notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance, does not stay any
				  permit condition.
7. This permit
				  does not convey property rights of any sort, or any exclusive
				  privilege.
8. The permittee shall
				  furnish to the Director, within a time specified, any information which the
				  Director may request to determine whether cause exists for modifying, revoking
				  and reissuing, or terminating this permit, or to determine compliance with this
				  permit. The permittee shall also furnish to the Director, upon request, copies
				  of records required to be kept by this permit.
9. The permittee shall allow the Director, or
				  an authorized representative, upon the presentation of credentials and other
				  documents as may be required by law, to:
a.
				  Enter upon the permittee's premises where a regulated facility or activity is
				  located or conducted, or where records must be kept under the conditions of
				  this permit;
b. Have access to and
				  copy, at reasonable times, any records that must be kept under the conditions
				  of this permit;
c. Inspect at
				  reasonable times any facilities, equipment (including monitoring and control
				  equipment), practices, or operations regulated or required under this permit;
				  and
d. Sample or monitor at
				  reasonable times, for the purposes of assuring permit compliance or as
				  otherwise authorized by this Article the SDWA, any substances or parameters at
				  any location.
