§ 17-09 Revocation.

RCNY § 17-09

Permits are revocable at the will of the Commissioner upon thirty (30) days' written notice of the proposed revocation, except in the case of emergencies that present immediate risks to water quality, City infrastructure(s) or to the health of employees or members of the public. Reasons for revocation include, but are not limited to, the following: • violation by the permittee of any regulation or condition(s) of the Permit, • failure to pay Permit fees, • failure to maintain improvement or structure allowed by such Permit, • failure to provide proof of insurance, and • DEP's need to use its land for water supply operations. Such revocation, other than for DEP's need to use its land for water supply purposes, may be cured by the permittee within the thirty (30) day written notice period. Failure by DEP to revoke a Permit shall not prohibit DEP from exercising any other legal remedies available.
