Haw. Code R. § §§ 11-124.5

Current through November, 2024
Section 11-124.5 - Modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination of permits
(a) Permits may be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated either at the request of any interested person (including the permittee) or upon the director's initiative. However, permits may only be modified, revoked and reissued, or terminated for the reasons specified in 40 C.F.R. sections 270.41 and 270.43, as incorporated and amended in section 11-270.1-1. All requests shall be in writing and shall contain facts or reasons supporting the request.
(b) If the Director decides the request is not justified, he or she shall send the requester a brief written response giving a reason for the decision. Denials of requests for modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination are not subject to public notice, comment, or hearings. Denials by the director may be informally appealed to the director by a letter briefly setting forth the relevant facts. The appeal shall be considered denied if the director takes no action on the letter within 60 days after receiving it.
(c)
(1) If the director tentatively decides to modify or revoke and reissue a permit under 40 C.F.R. section 270.41 or 270.42(c), as incorporated and amended in section 11-270.1-1, he or she shall prepare a draft permit under 40 C.F.R. section 124.6, as incorporated and amended in this chapter, incorporating the proposed changes. The director may request additional information and, in the case of a modified permit, may require the submission of an updated application. In the case of revoked and reissued permits, the director shall require the submission of a new application.
(2) In a permit modification under this section, only those conditions to be modified shall be reopened when a new draft permit is prepared. All other aspects of the existing permit shall remain in effect for the duration of the unmodified permit. When a permit is revoked and reissued under this section, the entire permit is reopened just as if the permit had expired and was being reissued. During any revocation and reissuance proceeding the permittee shall comply with all conditions of the existing permit until a new final permit is reissued.
(3) "Classes 1 and 2 modifications" as defined in §270.42 (a) and (b) are not subject to the requirements of this section.
(d) If the director tentatively decides to terminate a permit under 40 C.F.R. section 270.43, as incorporated and amended in section 11-270.1-1, where the permittee objects, the director shall issue a notice of intent to terminate. A notice of intent to terminate is a type of draft permit which follows the same procedures as any draft permit prepared under 40 C.F.R. section 124.6, as incorporated and amended in this chapter.
(e) When [the] state department of health is the permitting authority, all draft permits (including notices of intent to terminate) prepared under this section shall be based on the administrative record as defined in § 124.9.
(f) [excluded from incorporation]
(g) [excluded from incorporation]
