Review of violations
Rules 5.03(2)(b) and (c) of the Rules and Regulations require that
the Division Director promptly review the history of violations of
any permittee who has been cited for violations during three or
more inspections of the permit area within any twelve month period.
The review is to determine whether a pattern of violations exists
or has existed exists, whether we will require the operator to show
cause why the permit should not be revoked or suspended.
