§ 36-20-115 — Modification of permit

Colorado § 36-20-115

• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 36: Natural
• Art.: Weather Modification

Text

(1) The director may revise the terms and
conditions of a permit if:

(a) The operator is first given notice and a reasonable opportunity for a
hearing on the need for a revision; and

(b) It appears to the director that a revision is necessary to protect the health
or property of any person or to protect the environment.

(2) If it appears to the director that an emergency situation exists or is
impending which could endanger life, property, or the environment, the director
may, without prior notice or a hearing, immediately modify the conditions of a
permit or order temporary suspension of the permit on the director's own order. The
issuance of such order shall include notice of a hearing to be held within ten days
thereafter on the question of permanently modifying the conditions or continuing
the suspension of the permit. Failure to comply with an order temporarily
suspending an operation or modifying the conditions of a permit shall be grounds
for immediate revocation of the permit.

(3) It shall be the responsibility of the operator conducting any operation to
notify the director of any emergency which can reasonably be foreseen or of any
existing emergency situations in subsection (2) of this section which might in any
way be caused or affected by the weather modification operation. Failure by the
operator to so notify the director of any such existing emergency, or any impending
emergency which should have been foreseen, may be grounds, at the discretion of
the director, for revocation of the permit for operation.
