CSR 45-5-14. Transfer of Permits

§45-5-14. Transfer of Permits. 14.1. Any person holding a valid operating permit under this rule may request that the Director transfer the operating permit to another person providing the following conditions are met: 14.1.a. The permit holder describes, in writing, the reasons for or circumstances of the transfer, lists all relevant air quality permit numbers and certifies that the facility to which the permit pertains is in compliance with all air permits issued by the Director and all applicable rules of the Director; 14.1.b. The transferee identifies and acknowledges, in writing, that it accepts and will comply with all permit(s) issued by the Director as identified in the notice of transfer filed pursuant to subdivision 14.1.a and that it will comply with all applicable rules; and 14.1.c. The permit holder or transferee pays, at the time of the request for transfer, a transfer fee of two hundred dollars ($200) payable to the Air Pollution Control Fund. Such payment satisfies the requirement of subsection 4.2 of 45CSR22. 14.2. Once the permittee and proposed transferee have complied with subsection 14.1, such a transfer shall be deemed approved unless the Director notifies the permittee and proposed transferee in writing, within thirty (30) days, that: 14.2.a. Additional information is required in order to process and act on the transfer; or 14.2.b. Such a transfer is denied, in which event the supporting findings of fact and legal authority for said denial shall be set forth in writing. 14.2.b.1. Any such denial may be appealed in the same manner as an appeal from permit denial under W. Va. Code §22-5-14 and applicable rules.
