Allowable changes include those resulting from purchase of TN allocation from the Wetlands Restoration Fund; purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation between the Permittee and other dischargers; regionalization; and other transactions approved by the Division. (2) If the Permittee intends to join or leave a compliance association, the Division must be noted of the proposed change.
