Revising An Existing Operation Permit

If you find that your operation permit no longer reflects how your business is run, you may request a revision to your existing permit. Use the following form to document such a request to DNR.

If part of your revision request includes documentation of permanent changes to process lines, etc. (that did not require a construction permit) you should also complete the appropriate stack, process, control device, etc. forms. (link below - opens in new window)

Alternative Operating Scenarios

While filling out your revision application, consider all the different operating scenarios you might want to operate under during the next five-year life of your permit. On some of the forms it is easy to address alternatives. For example, the printing form 4530-107 asks you to give information for all inks you currently use in your press and all inks you may want to use in the press for the next five years. Write "alternative" next to the inks that may be used in the future. Other forms don't lend themselves as easily to describing alternative operating scenarios. In this case, fill out a 4530-135 form for additional information to describe the alternative operating scenario.

Application Completeness

Be sure that all the appropriate blanks and forms are filled in. If you are using hard copy forms, you will have to do this check visually. Required fields are shaded on the hard copy forms. If you are using electronic forms, you can generate a completeness report to do this automatically.
The Department has 20 days from the date you submit your application to determine if your submittal is complete. You will be notified if the Department determines that your application is incomplete. You will then have 30 days to submit the missing information. The Department reserves the right to ask for additional information even after the application is initially deemed complete.
