maintaining the required operational information may result in future non-compliance.
The Division has removed the following permit condition since the last permit issuance dated
July 2, 2019:
➢ Old Condition II.3 – The Division has removed this condition because the Permittee has
constructed all proposed groundwater monitoring wells.
➢ Old Condition II.10 – The Division has removed this condition because the Permittee own’s
the land within the compliance boundary.
The following permit conditions are new or modified since the last permit issuance dated July
2, 2019:
➢ Condition I.1 – The Division has moved Old Condition VI.5 from Section VI to Section I.
➢ Condition III.7 – The Division has modified Old Condition III.7 to replace “…once per permit
cycle” with “…annually.”
