Rule 3745-525-340 | Minor modifications.
(A) The owner or operator of a CCR unit may submit an application under this rule for a minor modification, as that term is defined in paragraph (M)(3) of rule 3745-525-03 of the Administrative Code, to a permit to install and operate with the following information:
(1) The precise modification requested, with sufficient information to justify treating the modification as a minor modification, the reason for the modification, and an index of each page of the permit to install and operate being modified.
(2) The page of the permit to install and operate with the modification, including a schedule on the plan drawing indicating what has changed.
(3) Engineering information included in the application for a permit to install and operate signed and sealed by a qualified professional engineer registered in Ohio.
(4) The following statement signed by the owner or operator or an authorized representative:
"I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and am familiar with the information submitted in this application and all attached documents, and that, based on my inquiry of those individuals immediately responsible for obtaining the information, I believe that the submitted information is true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment."
(B) The permittee shall submit an application for a minor modification no less than forty-five days prior to making the requested change to the CCR unit, unless the minor modification application is for a transfer of ownership or operational control, which is subject to the timelines specified in rule 3745-525-370 of the Administrative Code.
(C) When determining whether to approve the minor modification, Ohio EPA may consider whether the modification is at least equivalent to the requirements of this chapter and consistent with any applicable requirements of Chapters 6111. and 3704 of the Revised Code.
(D) Ohio EPA may determine that additional information is needed to evaluate the minor modification.
(E) The public participation requirements do not apply to a minor modification.
(F) For a minor permit modification, the permittee may instead elect to follow the procedures for major modifications.
(G) Ohio EPA may determine that the proposed modification does not meet the criteria for a minor modification as that term is used in paragraph (M)(3) of rule 3745-525-03 of the Administrative Code and therefore must follow the procedures of a major modification.
