LAWS OF MARYLAND

[Ch.

581

STATE THE INFORMATION CALLED FOR. IN ADDITION, THE
APPLICANT MAY BE REQUIRED TO FURNISH OTHER INFORMATION
THE DEPARTMENT REASONABLY DEEMS NECESSARY TO ENFORCE THIS
SUBTITLE. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO RESUBMIT
INFORMATION WHICH HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE THE ORIGINAL
APPLICATION, IF THE APPLICANT SO STATES IN WRITING.

(B)   A MODIFICATION UNDER THIS SECTION MAY AFFECT
THE LAND AREA COVERED BY THE PERMIT, THE APPROVED MINING
AND RECLAMATION PLAN COUPLED WITH THE PERMIT, OR OTHER
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PERMIT. A PERMIT MAY BE
MODIFIED TO INCLUDE LAND CONTIGUOUS TO THE EXISTING
AFFECTED LAND, BUT NOT OTHER LANDS. THE MINING AND
RECLAMATION PLAN MAY BE MODIFIED IN ANY MANNER, IF THE
DEPARTMENT DETERMINES THAT THE MODIFIED PLAN FULLY MEETS
THE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN §[[7-7B19]] 7-6A19 AND THAT
THE MODIFICATIONS WOULD BE GENERALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE
BASES FOR THE ISSUANCE OF THE ORIGINAL PERMIT. OTHER
TERMS AND CONDITIONS MAY BE MODIFIED ONLY IF THE
DEPARTMENT DETERMINES THAT THE PERMIT AS MODIFIED WOULD
MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF §§[[7-7B07 AND 7-7B09]] 7-6A07
AND 7-6A09. NO MODIFICATION MAY EXTEND THE EXPIRATION
DATE OF ANY PERMIT ISSUED UNDER THIS SUBTITLE.

(C)    A $100 FEE SHALL BE CHARGED FOR A PERMIT
MODIFICATION.

[[7-7B13]] 7-6A13. PERMIT RENEWAL.

(A)   THE PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED AND STANDARDS TO
BE APPLIED IN RENEWING A PERMIT SHALL BE THE SAME AS
THOSE FOR THE INITIAL APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT, EXCEPT
THAT IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO RESUBMIT INFORMATION WHICH
HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE THE TIME OF THE ORIGINAL
APPLICATION, IF THE APPLICANT SO STATES IN WRITING.
HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT MAY BE REQUIRED TO FURNISH OTHER
INFORMATION THE DEPARTMENT DEEMS NECESSARY TO ENFORCE
THIS SUBTITLE. IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY CHANGES IN LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ISSUANCE OF A PERMIT SINCE THE DATE
ON WHICH THE ORIGINAL PERMIT WAS ISSUED, THE ONLY BASIS
FOR THE DENIAL OF A RENEWAL PERMIT SHALL BE (1) AN
UNCORRECTED VIOLATION OF THE TYPE LISTED IN PARAGRAPH 7
OF §[[7-7B09]] 7-6A09(B), (2) FAILURE TO SUBMIT AN
ADEQUATE MINING AND RECLAMATION PLAN IN LIGHT OF
CONDITIONS EXISTING AT THE TIME OF RENEWAL, OR (3)
FAILURE OR REFUSAL TO PAY THE RENEWAL FEE.

(B)   APPLICATION FOR A RENEWAL OF A PERMIT CANNOT BE
MADE ANY EARLIER THAN TWO YEARS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION
DATE OF THE ORIGINAL PERMIT.

(C)    THE FEE TO BE CHARGED FOR A PERMIT RENEWAL
SHALL BE THE SAME AS THAT CHARGED FOR AN INITIAL PERMIT.
