3. Amend any terms or conditions in the supplemental portion of your standardized license.
(2) Procedures for routine changes.

However, you shall first determine whether the routine change you intend to make amends the information you submitted under s. NR 670.275 with your notice of intent to operate under the standardized license.
(b) If the routine changes you make amend the information you submitted under s. NR 670.275 with your notice of intent to operate under the standardized license, then before you make the routine changes you shall:

(4) PROCEDURES FOR SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.
(a) You shall first provide notice of and conduct a public meeting.
1. `Public Meeting.' Hold a meeting with the public to solicit questions from the community and inform the community of your proposed modifications to your hazardous waste management activities. Post a sign-in sheet or otherwise provide a voluntary opportunity for people attending the meeting to provide their names and addresses.
2. `Public Notice.' At least 30 days before you plan to hold the meeting, issue a public notice according to the requirements of s. NR 670.431(4).
