DEHS may revoke operational permits for repeated noncompliance with relevant law, or otherwise for just cause where the health or safety of the public may be endangered. Prior to such revocation, DEHS shall, by an Administrative Order to Show Cause (OSC), notify the permit holder to show cause why such permit should not be revoked by DEHS. The OSC shall state the allegations and evidence leading to its issuance and notify the permit holder of the right to a hearing on the OSC if requested within 15 calendar days after receipt of the OSC or else such right to a hearing shall be deemed waived. Unless the DEHS operational permit is also suspended, any activity or facility may continue to operate pending action on the OSC. Continued operation of any activity or facility after revocation of relevant DEHS operational permits is a misdemeanor and any person or entity so convicted shall be punished by a fine of not less than $250.00 nor more than $1,000.00, or six months in jail, or both.
