18 AAC 15.100. Permit limitations

(a) The department will set a fixd term, not to exceed five years, for a permit or variance other than a plan approval for a

(1) sewerage system or treatment works; or

(2) public water system.

(b) Except as otherwise prohibited, a permit, variance, or approval may not be assigned without prior written approval of the appropriate division director. The appropriate division director will grant approval under this subsection if that director finds that the assignee has assumed the obligations of the permittee, and that the assignment will not result in an appreciable change in the operation.

(c) A permit or variance authorizes only that operation specified in the permit or variance. Any expansion, modification, or other change in a facility process or operation which might result in an increase in emissions or discharges, or might cause other detrimental environmental impacts from the permittee's facility, requires a new permit or variance. Any other change in the operation requires an amendment to the permit or variance.

(d) An application for a renewal of a permit, or amendment to a permit or variance, will be treated in the same manner as the initial application, except that public notice or hearing will not be provided for applications for renewal or amendment. Application for renewal or amendment must be made no later than 30 days before the expiration of the permit or the planned effective date of the amendment. The department will, however, approve an amendment to a permit or variance on an emergency basis if necessary to protect public health, life, or property.
