Current or previous violations of the South Carolina Code of Laws and/or Department regulations may jeopardize the issuance of a permit for the facility or the permitting of any other facility or addition to an existing facility which is owned or operated by the permit holder. The facility shall provide only the procedures or services it is permitted to provide pursuant to the definition in Section 100 of this regulation.
