Section 445A.885 - Modification, revocation, suspension, cancellation or denial of permit; cessation of activity requiring permit

1. In addition to the grounds specified in NRS 445A.600, the Director may modify, revoke, suspend or cancel a permit during its term or deny the renewal of a permit upon a determination by the Director that the permitted activity endangers human health or the environment and can only be regulated to acceptable levels by modification, revocation, suspension or denial of the permit.

2. If the activity for an injection well requiring a permit ceases, the holder of the permit may request that the Director cancel the permit, if the holder is in compliance with all the conditions set forth in the permit and the conditions set for the closure of the site in question, including well plugging and abandonment. The holder of the permit may request permission to keep the injection well open to monitor the well or for any other purpose. The holder of a permit who submits a request to keep an injection well open must provide with the request legal and financial assurance pursuant to NAC 445A.871 that the well will ultimately be plugged and abandoned in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations.
