Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 10, October 25, 2024

Section 61-107.4.V.C - Corrective Measures and General Permit Revocation

1. Upon a determination by the Department and written notification that the facility operating under a general permit poses an actual or potential threat to human health or the environment, the Department may require the permittee to implement corrective measures as appropriate.

2. Approval to operate under a General Permit may be revoked for failure to comply with the conditions of the General Permit or this regulation.

a. Whenever the Department finds that material or substantial violations demonstrate a disregard for, or inability to comply with a general permit, and that these violations would make continuation of the approval to operate under a general permit not in the best interest of human health and safety or the environment, the Department may, after a hearing, revoke the approval to operate as appropriate and necessary.

b. For the purposes of this regulation, "hearing" means a conference between the Department and a permittee, during which the permittee is given opportunity to respond to a written notice of alleged violation, and may be accompanied by legal and/or technical counsel, at the conference.

c. If, after a hearing, the Department determines that approval to operate under authority of a general permit should be revoked, an administrative order revoking the approval will be issued.
