(A) Reports submitted under a cooperative agreement fulfill the reporting requirements under South Carolina environmental law relating to the facility, activities, and pollutants that are covered by the cooperative agreement, except for any requirements for immediate reporting.

(B) A participant shall notify the department if it wishes to increase the amount of a discharge or emission or commence the discharge or emission of a pollutant from a covered facility that was not provided for in the cooperative agreement at the time it became effective. The notification shall describe any proposed facility expansion, production increases or process modifications that would result in the increased or new discharge or emission and shall state the identity and quantity of the pollutant planned to be emitted or discharged. If the increased or new discharge or emission is not authorized under the cooperative agreement, the department may amend the cooperative agreement or require the participant to obtain an approval if an approval is required under South Carolina environmental law.
