Permits continued under Section R315-270-51 remain fully effective and enforceable.(c) Enforcement. When the permittee is not in compliance with the conditions of the expiring or expired permit, the Director may choose to do any or all of the following: (1) Initiate enforcement action based upon the permit which has been continued;(2) Issue a notice of intent to deny the new permit under Section R315-124-6.
