C. The owner shall comply with all conditions of this general permit. Any noncompliance with this permit constitutes a violation of the Virginia Air Pollution Control Law and is grounds for (i) enforcement action or (ii) suspension or revocation of the authorization to operate under this permit.

The filing by an owner of a (i) request for reauthorization to operate under this general permit or (ii) notification of termination, planned changes, or anticipated noncompliance does not stay any condition of this general permit.

G. Within 30 days of notification, the owner shall furnish to the department any information that the department may request in writing to determine whether cause exists for suspending or revoking the authorization to operate under this general permit or to determine compliance with this general permit. Upon request, the owner shall also furnish to the department copies of records required to be kept by this permit and, for information claimed to be confidential, the owner shall furnish such records to the department along with a claim of confidentiality meeting the requirements of 9VAC5-170-60.
