25 Pa. Code § 271.211 - Term of permits
(a) A permit
will be issued for a fixed term consistent with the approved operation and
design plans of the facility, and not to exceed 10 years. An operator may apply
for permit renewal prior to the expiration of the permit terms under §
271.223 (relating to permit
renewal).
(b) The Department may
grant a longer fixed term if:
(1) The
application is complete for the longer fixed term.
(2) The applicant shows that a specified
longer term is reasonably needed to allow the applicant to obtain necessary
financing for the facility, and this need is confirmed, in writing, by the
applicant's source of financing.
(c) No municipal waste may be disposed,
processed or beneficially used under a permit after the expiration of the
permit term for disposal, processing or beneficial use. Expiration of the
permit term does not limit the operator's responsibility for complying with
closure and postclosure requirements and all other requirements under the act,
the environmental protection acts, regulations thereunder or the terms or
conditions of its permit.
(d) The
Department will, from time to time, but at intervals not to exceed 5 years,
review a permit issued under this article. In its review, the Department will
evaluate the permit to determine whether it reflects currently applicable
operating requirements, as well as current technology and management practices.
The Department may require modification, suspension or revocation of the permit
when necessary to carry out the purposes of the act, the environmental
protection acts and this title. The Department will require the operator to
provide a summary of changes to the operations since the initial permit or
latest major permit modification was approved.
(e) If no municipal waste is processed or
disposed under a permit within 5 years of the date of issuance by the
Department of a permit for the facility, the permit is void.
(f) A municipal waste management facility
without a permit term that was permitted by the Department prior to April 9,
1988, shall have a permit term that expires April 9, 1993. The operator of the
facility may apply for permit renewal under § 271.223.
