Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A.
				  Although they may not necessarily directly affect emissions reduction
				  effectiveness, minor violations are considered to be serious enough to
				  influence the overall effectiveness of the Motor Vehicle Emissions Control
				  Program, and pertain to station operations, quality assurance, quality control,
				  unacceptable security of documents and records, maintenance of certain required
				  equipment and systems, emissions repair efficiency and such other items as are
				  necessary to maintain program uniformity, and to ensure the ability to function
				  as a permittee, licensee or certified emissions repair technician or
				  facility.
B. A violation of any
				  provision of this chapter not previously listed under subsections B, C and D of
				  9VAC5-91-620 shall constitute a
				  minor violation, as they pertain to a permittee, licensee, or certified
				  emissions repair technician or facility, unless the director determines that
				  the violation is a major violation in accordance with subsection F of
				  9VAC5-91-620.

1. Upon the request of an owner or a
				  responsible civil or military public official, the board may approve open
				  burning or the use of special incineration devices under controlled conditions
				  for the elimination of a hazard that constitutes a threat to the public health,

				  special incineration devices may include, but are not limited to, the
				  following:
a. Destruction of deteriorated or
				  unused explosives and munitions on government or private property when other

b. Destruction of
				  debris caused by floods, tornadoes, hurricanes or other natural disasters where
				  alternate means of disposal are not economical or practical and when it is in
				  the best interest of the citizens of the Commonwealth. Solid waste management
				  permits may be required under the provisions of 9VAC20-81 (Solid Waste
				  Management Regulations).
c. On-site
				  destruction of animal or plant life that is infested, or reasonably believed to
				  be infested, by a pest or disease in order to (i) suppress, control, or
