Ohio Administrative Code
Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency
Chapter 3745-34 - Underground Injection Control Program
Section 3745-34-23 - Modification or revocation and reissuance of permits
Current through all regulations passed and filed through December 16, 2024
When the director receives any information (for example, inspects the facility, receives information pertinent to the permit submitted by the permittee as required in the permit [see rule 3745-34-26 of the Administrative Code], receives a request for modification or revocation and reissuance or conducts a review of the permit file), the director may determine whether or not one or more of the causes listed in paragraphs (A) and (B) of this rule for modification, revocation and reissuance, or both exist. If cause exists, the director may modify or revoke and reissue the permit accordingly, subject to the limitations of paragraph (C) of this rule, and may request an updated application if necessary. When a permit is modified, only the conditions subject to modification are reopened. If a permit is revoked and reissued, the entire permit is reopened and subject to revision, and the permit is then reissued for a new term. If cause does not exist under this rule or rule 3745-34-25 of the Administrative Code, the director shall not modify or revoke and reissue the permit. If a permit modification satisfies the criteria in rule 3745-34-25 of the Administrative Code for minor modifications, the permit may be modified without a draft permit or public review. Otherwise, a draft permit shall be prepared and other procedures in Chapter 3745-49 of the Administrative Code shall be followed.
(A) Causes for modification. The following are causes for modification. For class I hazardous waste injection wells the following may be cause for revocation and reissuance or modification; and for all other wells the following may be cause for revocation or modification when the permittee requests or agrees.
(B) Causes for modification or revocation and reissuance. The following are causes to modify, or, alternatively, revoke and reissue a permit:
(C) Facility siting. Suitability of the facility location will not be considered at the time of permit modification or revocation and reissuance unless new information or standards indicate that a threat to human health or the environment exists which was unknown at the time of permit issuance.
