Sec. 228.11  Modification in disposal site use.

    (a) Modifications in disposal site use which involve the withdrawal 
of designated disposal sites from use or permanent changes in the total 
specified quantities or types of wastes permitted to be discharged to a 
specific disposal site will be made through promulgation of an amendment 
to the disposal site designation set forth in this part 228 and will be 
based on the results of the analyses of impact described in Sec. 228.10 
or upon changed circumstances concerning use of the site.
    (b) Modifications in disposal site use promulgated pursuant to 
paragraph (a) of this section shall not automatically modify conditions 
of any outstanding permit issued pursuant to this subchapter H, and 
provided further that unless the EPA management authority for such site 
modifies, revokes or suspends such permit or any of the terms or 
conditions of such permit in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 
232.2 based on the results of impact analyses as described in Sec. 
228.10 or upon changed circumstances concerning use of the site, such 
permit will remain in force until its expiration date.
    (c) When the EPA management authority determines that activities at 
a disposal site have placed the site in Impact Category I, the 
Administrator or the Regional Administrator, as the case may be, shall 
place such limitations on the use of the site as are necessary to reduce 
the impacts to acceptable levels.
    (d) The determination of the Administrator as to whether to 
terminate or limit use of a disposal site will be based on the impact of 
disposal at the site itself and on the Criteria.
