OAR 340-216-0082
Termination or Revocation of an ACDP
(1)
Expiration.(a)
A source may not be operated after the expiration date of a permit, unless any of the following occur prior to the expiration date of the permit:(A)
A timely and complete application for renewal has been submitted; or(B)
Another type of permit, ACDP or Oregon Title V Operating Permit, has been issued authorizing operation of the source.(b)
If a timely and complete renewal application has been submitted, the existing permit will remain in effect until final action has been taken on the renewal application to issue or deny a permit.(c)
For a source operating under an ACDP or Oregon Title V Operating Permit, a requirement established in an earlier ACDP remains in effect notwithstanding expiration of the ACDP, unless the provision expires by its terms or unless the provision is modified or terminated according to the procedures used to establish the requirement initially.(2)
Automatic Termination. A permit is automatically terminated upon:(a)
Issuance of a renewal or new ACDP for the same activity or operation;(b)
Written request of the permittee, if DEQ determines that a permit is no longer required;(c)
Failure to submit a timely application for permit renewal. Termination is effective on the permit expiration date; or(d)
Failure to pay annual fees within 90 days of invoice by DEQ, unless prior arrangements for payment have been approved in writing by DEQ.(3)
Reinstatement of Terminated Permit: A permit automatically terminated under any of subsections (2)(b) through (2)(d) may only be reinstated by the permittee by applying for a new permit. The permittee must also pay the applicable new source permit application fees in this division, unless the owner or operator submits the renewal application within three months of the permit expiration date.(4)
Revocation:(a)
If DEQ determines that a permittee is in noncompliance with the terms of the permit, submitted false information in the application or other required documentation, or is in violation of any applicable rule or statute, DEQ may revoke the permit. DEQ will provide notice of the intent to revoke the permit to the permittee under OAR 340-011-0525 (Contested Cases: Service and Filing of Documents). The notice will include the reasons why the permit will be revoked, and include an opportunity for the permittee to request a contested case hearing prior to the revocation. A permittee’s written request for hearing must be received by DEQ within 60 days from service of the notice on the permittee, and must state the grounds of the request. The hearing will be conducted as a contested case hearing under ORS 183.413 (Notice to parties before hearing of rights and procedure) through 183.470 (Orders in contested cases) and OAR 340 division 011. The permit will continue in effect until the 60th day after service of the notice on the permittee, if the permittee does not timely request a hearing, or until a final order is issued if the permittee timely requests a hearing.(b)
If DEQ finds there is a serious danger to the public health, safety or the environment caused by a permittee’s activities, DEQ may immediately revoke or refuse to renew the permit without prior notice or opportunity for a hearing. If no advance notice is provided, notification will be provided to the permittee as soon as possible under OAR 340-011-0525 (Contested Cases: Service and Filing of Documents). The notification will set forth the specific reasons for the revocation or refusal to renew and will provide an opportunity for the permittee to request a contested case hearing for review of the revocation or refusal to renew. A permittee’s written request for hearing must be received by DEQ within 90 days of service of the notice on the permittee and must state the grounds for the request. The hearing will be conducted as a contested case hearing under ORS 183.413 (Notice to parties before hearing of rights and procedure) through 183.470 (Orders in contested cases) and OAR 340 division 011. The revocation or refusal to renew becomes final without further action by DEQ if a request for a hearing is not received within the 90 days. If a request for a hearing is timely received, the revocation or refusal to renew will remain in place until issuance of a final order.
