Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
The following conditions apply to all Class VI permits. All
				  conditions applicable to all permits shall be incorporated into the permits
				  either expressly or by reference. If incorporated by reference, a specific
				  citation to the applicable rule will be given in the permit.
(1) Duty to comply. The permittee must comply
				with all conditions of the permit. Any permit non-compliance constitutes a
				violation of this chapter and is grounds for enforcement action, for permit
				termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification.
(2) Need to halt or reduce activity not a
				defense. 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.
(3) Duty to mitigate. The permittee shall
				take all necessary steps to minimize or correct any adverse impact on a USDW,
				the environment, or the health of persons, in accordance with the requirements
				of rule 335-6-8-.05(2)
				and rule 335-6-8-.06.
(4) Proper operation and maintenance. The
				permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and
				systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which 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 when necessary to achieve compliance with the
				conditions of the permit.
(5)
				Permit actions. 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 non-compliance, does not stay any permit
				condition.
(6) Property rights.
				This permit does not convey any property rights of any sort, or any exclusive
				privilege.
(7) Duty to provide
				information. The permittee shall furnish to the Department, within a time
				specified, any information which the Department 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 Department, upon request, copies of records required to be kept
				by this permit.
(8) Inspection and
				entry. The permittee shall allow an authorized representative of the
				Department, 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 the
				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, any
				substances or parameters at any location.
