Upon the consent of the permittee, the Agency may modify a
permit to make the corrections or allowances for changes in the permitted
activity listed in this Section, without following the procedures of 35 Ill.
Adm. Code 705. Any permit modification not processed as a minor modification
under this Section must be made for cause and with a 35 Ill. Adm. Code 705
draft permit and public notice as required in Sections
704.261
through
704.263.
Minor modifications may only involve the following changes:
a) Correcting typographical errors;
b) Requiring more frequent monitoring or
reporting by the permittee;
c)
Changing an interim compliance date in a schedule of compliance, provided the
new date is not more than 120 days after the date specified in the existing
permit and does not interfere with attainment of the final compliance date
requirement; or
d) Allowing for a
change in ownership or operational control of a facility where the Agency
determines that no other change in the permit is necessary, provided that a
written agreement containing a specific date for transfer of permit
responsibility, coverage, and liability between the current and new permittees
has been submitted to the Agency; or
e) Changing quantities or types of fluids
injected that are within the capacity of the facility as permitted and which
the Agency has determined would not interfere with the operation of the
facility or its ability to meet conditions described in the permit and would
not change its classification.
f)
Changing construction requirements approved by the Agency pursuant to 35 Ill.
Adm. Code
704.182
(establishing UIC permit conditions), provided that any such alteration must
comply with this Part and 35 Ill. Adm. Code
702 and
730.
g) Amending a plugging and abandonment plan
that has been updated under Section
704.181(e).
h) Amending a Class VI injection well testing
and monitoring plan, plugging plan, post-injection site care and site closure
plan, or emergency and remedial response plan, where the Agency determines that
the modifications merely clarify or correct the plan.
