A. Where the Director has determined that any condition exists in violation of a Registration or Approval issued pursuant to these rules, a UIC Registration or Order of Approval issued prior to July 12, 2012 or any other requirement of these rules, the owner shall cease operation or if applicable, the portion of the operation relevant to the violation.

Where the Director determines that a pattern of violations of any condition in a Registration or Approval issued pursuant to these rules, a UIC Registration or Order of Approval issued prior to July 12, 2012 or any other requirement of these rules, exists or has existed and that the violations are caused by the failure of the owner to comply or that the violations are willfully caused by the owner, the Director shall terminate the Registration or Approval unless the owner can show cause as to why the Registration or Approval should not be terminated.
