(A) The Solid Waste Coordinator may, upon review of submitted information, which sufficiently describes the requested action, issue a permit modification to the operator or owner. Any permit not processed as a major modification shall be deemed a minor modification and shall be exempt from the public notification requirements prior to approval. A major modification shall be deemed to exist if the proposed change is of the scope and nature that the Solid Waste Coordinator determines that public notice is necessary to allow participation in the county’s decision by persons who have an interest which may be adversely affected by the proposed change.
(B) Major modifications shall include, but shall not be limited to:
(1) An increase in the area authorized for waste disposal of any unit as represented by the waste boundary in the original application and permit. This type of action is a horizontal expansion;
(2) An increase in the CDDL capacity that extends the life of the facility by more than two years and is not a horizontal expansion. This type of action is a vertical expansion;
(3) Transfer of ownership to a person other than that named on the permit; and
(4) Implementation of a corrective action plan required by the Cabinet under 401 KAR 48:300, § 8(9). The public notice requirements shall not hamper corrective action activities in situations where there is an immediate threat to human health or the environment.
