NR 670.030), receives a request for revocation and reissuance under s. NR 670.405 or conducts a review of the license file), the department may determine whether one or more of the causes listed in subs.

(3), and may request an updated application if necessary. When a license is modified, only the conditions subject to modification are reopened. If a license is revoked and reissued, the entire license is reopened and subject to revision and the license is reissued for a new term. (See s. NR 670.405 (3) (b).)

The standards or rules on which the license was based have been changed by statute, through promulgation of new or amended standards or rules, or by judicial decision after the license was issued.

The department determines good cause exists for modification of a compliance schedule, such as an act of God, strike, flood or materials shortage or other events over which the licensee has little or no control and for which there is no reasonably available remedy. NR 670.041(1)(e)(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this section, when a license for a land disposal facility is reviewed by the department under s. NR 670.050 (4), the department shall modify the license as necessary to assure that the facility continues to comply with the currently applicable requirements in chs. NR 660 to 666 and 670.
