(a) The standards or rules on which the permit or other authorization was based have been changed by amendment or judicial decision after the permit was issued or the authorization was granted;

(b) The Department has received information which was not available at the time of authorization and would have justified different conditions;

(c) There are alterations in the facility after authorization which justify different conditions but do not require a construction permit, or

(d) The causes set forth in subsection 62-4.080(1), F.A.C., and 40 C.F.R. 270.41 and 270.42.

(2) When a permit or other authorization is to be modified only the conditions subject to modification are opened. All other aspects of the permit or other authorization shall remain in effect.

Modifications which are Class 1 modifications as set forth in 40 C.F.R. 270.42, are minor modifications and may be made without public notice.

(5) With respect to postclosure and corrective action permits only, the permittee may request a permit modification to achieve CTLs based on secondary standards or based on nuisance, organoleptic or aesthetic considerations, which includes termination of financial responsibility requirements for remedial activities and changes to the groundwater plan, or may enter into a consent order (CO) in lieu of a permit and request termination of the hazardous waste postclosure or corrective action permit, when the permittee can demonstrate that the only contamination that remains at or from the facility is groundwater contamination in excess of CTLs based on secondary standards or based on nuisance, organoleptic or aesthetic considerations.
