A permit may be automatically transferred to a new permittee if. i) The current permittee notifies the Division in writing 30 days in advance of the proposed transfer date; and ii) The notice includes a written agreement between the existing and new permittee(s) containing a specific date for transfer of permit responsibility, coverage and liability between them; and iii) The Division does not notify the existing permittee and the proposed new permittee of its intent to modify, or revoke and reissue the permit. iv) Fee requirements of the Colorado Discharge Permit System Regulations, Section 61.15, have been met. 4.
