The Department may issue permits for fixed terms not to exceed 5 years, but a permit to operate a package plant for sewage treatment must be reviewed annually by the Department. In compliance with the regulations adopted by the Commission, the Department may issue a new permit upon expiration of an existing permit if:
1. The holder of the permit is in full or substantial compliance with all the requirements and schedules of compliance of the expired permit;
2. The Department has current information on the nature and frequency of the discharge or injection of fluids through a well by a holder of a permit, either pursuant to the submission of new forms and applications or pursuant to continuing observation of records and reports submitted to the Department by the holder of the permit; and
3. The discharge or injection of fluids through a well is consistent with applicable effluent limitations, standards of water quality and other applicable requirements set forth in NRS 445A.300 to 445A.730, inclusive.
