(a) The
				commissioner may revoke or modify a permit issued under this article if cause
				exists under IC 13-15-7-1 and may request an updated application if necessary.
				When a permit is modified, only the conditions modified are reopened and
				subject to review under IC 13-15-7-3. If a permit is revoked, the entire permit
				is reopened and subject to revision and if the permit is reissued, it may be
				for a new term.
(b) If the solid
				waste land disposal facility is located in an area that is not suitable for the
				placement of waste as specified by this article, the department shall consider
				the nonsuitability issue as a sufficient basis for denying the modification or
				for revoking the permit unless the permittee demonstrates to the department
				that continued use of the solid waste land disposal facility will not pose a
				threat to human health or the environment.
(c) To request a change in the solid waste
				land disposal facility plans or operation, the permittee must request that the
				commissioner modify the permit before any permitted changes are made in the
				approved plans. The application must provide the rationale for such
				modification to the commissioner for review. If the commissioner determines
				that the requested modification is consistent with this article, the
				commissioner shall grant the modification. Only the conditions modified are
				reopened. The commissioner shall give notice to the permittee of the
				determination on the modification in accordance with IC 4-21.5-3.
(d) Other than for minor modifications,
				requests to modify a permit to increase the permitted acreage of the solid
				waste disposal area of a solid waste land disposal facility shall be processed
