(a) The director may revise, suspend, or modify the terms and conditions of a permit in accordance with the provisions of the Kansas administrative procedure act when necessary to protect the health, safety, or property of any person or to protect the environment.
(b) Upon ordering revision, suspension or modification under this section in an emergency administrative proceeding under the Kansas administrative procedure act, the director shall conduct a hearing on the question of permanently revising, suspending, or modifying the terms and conditions of the permit within 10 days after entry of the order.
(c) It shall be the responsibility of the licensee conducting any weather modification activity to notify the director of any emergency that the licensee could be expected to reasonably foresee, including any existing emergency that might be grounds for revision, suspension or modification under this section in an emergency administrative proceeding and that might in any way be caused or affected by weather modification activities. Failure by the licensee to so notify the director of any such existing emergency, or any impending emergency that the licensee should have reasonably foreseen, may be grounds for revocation of the permit and the operator's license.
