21.55.310 Modification, suspension, revocation, and expiration.
(a) YTEP may reevaluate the circumstances and conditions of a permit either on its own motion or at the request of the permittee or of a third party and initiate action to modify, suspend, or revoke a permit if sufficient cause exists. Among the factors to be considered are the following:
(1) Permittee’s noncompliance with any of the terms or conditions of the permit;
(2) Permittee’s failure in the application or during the permit decision process to disclose fully all relevant facts or the permittee’s misrepresentation of any relevant facts at the time;
(3) Information that activities authorized by a general permit are having more than minimal individual or cumulative adverse effect on the environment, or that the permitted activities are more appropriately regulated by individual permits;
(4) Circumstances related to the authorized activity have changed since the permit was issued and justify changed permit conditions or cessation of an activity controlled by the permit;
(5) Any significant information related to the authorized activity if such information was not available at the time the permit was issued and would have justified the imposition of different permit conditions or denial; and
(6) Revisions of applicable regulatory authority.
(b) Permit modifications shall comply with this section.
(c) Modification, suspension, or revocation of a permit shall provide for public comment, coordination with federal review agencies, and an opportunity for a permit hearing in the same manner as issuance of a permit, following notice to the permittee. When permit modification is proposed, only the conditions subject to modification need be reopened.
(d) YTEP may use abbreviated procedures for minor modification of permits for the following:
(1) To correct typographic errors;
(2) To require more frequent monitoring or reporting by the permittee; and
(3) To allow for a change in ownership or operational control of a permitted activity where no other change in the permit is necessary.
(e) YTEP may continue a permit until the effective date of a new permit. [Ord. 67 § 5204, adopted, 5/21/2020.]
