Section 203.015. Exceptions.

  The department may, with the consent of the permittee, revoke or modify a permit issued under s. 283.31 or 283.33 , Stats., without following the notice procedures outlined in subch. I or without holding a public informational hearing as outlined in subch. II . Modification actions which qualify for this exception include:

(1)  Correcting a typographical error.

(2)  Requiring more frequent monitoring or reporting by the permittee.

(3)  Changing an interim compliance date in a schedule of compliance to a date that is not more than 120 days after the date specified in the existing permit if the change does not delay attainment of final compliance.

(4)  Reflecting a change in the owner or operator of a facility if the department determines that no other change in the permit is necessary and if the current and new owners or operators submit the department a written agreement that specifies a date for the new owner to assume responsibility for compliance with the permit and liability for violations of the permit.

(5)  Changing the construction schedule for a new source if the change does not affect the permittee's obligation to have required pollution control equipment installed and in operation before beginning to discharge.

(6)  Eliminating a point source from a permit if the discharge from that point source terminates and that termination does not cause the discharge of pollutants from other point sources to exceed permit limits.

(7)  Incorporating into a permit a condition of a publicly owned treatment works pretreatment program that has been approved by the department.
