Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 9, September 27, 2024

Permits for solid waste transfer stations shall be effective for the design and operational life of the facility, to be determined by the Department. The Department shall review the permit for each solid waste transfer station at least once every five (5) years, unless otherwise specified by the Department.

1. If, upon review, the Department finds that material or substantial violations of the permit demonstrate the permittee's disregard for, or inability to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or requirements and would make continuation of the permit not in the best interests of human health and safety or the environment, the Department may, after a hearing, amend or revoke the permit, as appropriate and necessary. When a permit is reviewed, the Department shall include additional limitations, standards, or conditions when the technical limitations, standards, or regulations on which the original permit was based have been changed by statute or amended by regulation.

2. The Department may amend or attach conditions to a permit when:

a. There is a significant change in the manner and scope of operation which may require new or additional permit conditions or safeguards to protect human health and safety and the environment;

b. The investigation has shown the need for additional equipment, construction, procedures, and testing to ensure the protection of human health and safety and the environment; and,

c. The amendment is necessary to meet changes in applicable regulatory requirements.
