Section 785:15-3-16 - Permit suspension, modification or cancellation

(a) Each permit issued will reflect that weather modification operations may be suspended during certain times to protect life and property.

(b) When it appears to the Board that an emergency exists or appears imminent, or the Board has been notified of a probable impending emergency or is not satisfied with the conduct of field operations or the effect of the modification operations within the area affected by such condition, the Board may order the permit holder to immediately suspend all weather modification operations within the area affected by such condition.

(1) Notification shall be given in the most expeditious manner.

(2) If the telephone is used to give such notice, it is to be followed promptly by a certified letter of particulars from the Board addressed to the permit holder stating the time and place for holding a hearing on the question of taking permanent action to modify or cancel the permit.

(3) Whether or not operations are allowed to be reinstated by the Board, and when such reinstatement may take place, will depend upon the conditions that develop within the permit area or when the requirements of the Board are met.

(c) Failure of the licensee to notify the Board of an existing or impending emergency which should have reasonably been foreseen may be grounds for cancellation of the permit and the operator's license after notice and hearing as provided in the Administrative Procedures Act and the rules in this Title.
