Interim stay of Director's Order regarding environmental site assessment granted on consent.
The appellants appealed a Director's Order requiring them to retain a qualified person to conduct an environmental site assessment regarding contaminated soil and groundwater at a property.
During a status conference, the appellants sought an interim stay of the order, citing unaffordable costs and denying responsibility for the contamination.
The Director consented to an interim stay of items 1 through 9 of the order to allow time to consider whether to consent to a full stay pending the hearing of the appeals.
The Tribunal granted the interim stay on consent.
