If incorporated by reference, a specific citation to this chapter shall be given in the license.
NR 670.030(1)
(1)
Duty to comply. The licensee shall comply with all conditions of the operating license, except that the licensee need not comply with the conditions of the operating license to the extent and for the duration the noncompliance is authorized in an emergency license under s.
NR 670.061. Any license noncompliance, except under the terms of an emergency license, constitutes a violation of ch.
291, Stats., and chs.
NR 660 to
673 and is grounds for enforcement action; for license revocation, suspension, or modification; or for denial of a license reissuance application.
NR 670.030(2)
(2)
Duty to reapply. If the licensee wishes to continue an activity regulated by an operating license after the expiration date of the operating license, the licensee shall apply for and obtain a new operating license.
NR 670.030(3)
(3)
Need to halt or reduce activity not a defense. It is not a defense for a licensee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the licensed activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of the license.
NR 670.030(4)
(4)
License noncompliance. In the event of noncompliance with the license, the licensee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize releases to the environment, and shall carry out such measures as are reasonable to prevent significant adverse impacts on human health or the environment.
NR 670.030(5)
(5)
Proper operation and maintenance. The licensee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the licensee to achieve compliance with the conditions of the license. Proper operation and maintenance includes effective performance, adequate funding, adequate operator staffing and training, and adequate laboratory and process controls, including appropriate quality assurance procedures. This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems only when necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the license.
