2. The permit issued shall continue in force and effect until revoked or terminated.
3. The permit may be modified, revoked and reissued or terminated for cause. The filing of
a request for a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination does not
stay any permit condition.
4. The issuance of this permit does not prohibit the Director from reopening and modifying
the permit, revoking and reissuing the permit, or terminating the permit as allowed by the
laws, rules, and regulations contained in Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative

considered on its merits, and may or may not be approved.
6. The permittee is responsible for compliance with all permit conditions until such time as
the Division approves the permit transfer request. Transfers to third parties by the
permittee where the required documentation has not been submitted to the Division does
not relieve the permittee of responsibility for transferring the permit.

all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances, which may be imposed by other government
