A. 1. During the term of the permit the permittee may submit an application for a revision of the permit, together with a revised reclamation plan, to the Department. The Department shall promulgate by rule a definition of a major revision and a minor revision. The fees for an application for a revision shall be:
Major revision ................... $250.00
Minor revision ................... $100.00
Said fee shall be owing and due upon the Department's completion of action upon the application and said fee shall be paid in full prior to the issuance of any revised permit and the Department shall issue said revised permit no later than five (5) days after payment. The fees collected under this section shall be deposited in the Department of Mines Revolving Fund.
2. An application for a revision of a permit shall not be approved unless the Department finds that reclamation as required by this act can be accomplished under the revised reclamation plan. The revision shall be approved or disapproved within a reasonable period of time. The Department shall establish guidelines for a determination of the scale or extent of a revision request for which all permit application information requirements and procedures, including notice and hearings, shall apply. Any revisions which propose significant alterations in the reclamation plan shall, at a minimum, be subject to notice and hearing requirements.
3. Any extensions to the area covered by the permit except incidental boundary revisions shall be made by application for another permit.
B. The Department shall, within a time limit prescribed in regulations, review outstanding permits and may require reasonable revision or modification of the permit provisions during the term of such permit. Such revision or modification shall be based upon a written finding and subject to notice and hearing requirements established by the Department.
