The appellant appealed a condition in its Environmental Compliance Approval that reduced the allowable spreading rate of septage at its disposal site.

The parties reached a settlement agreement to amend the condition to allow a higher weekly spreading rate while maintaining a reduced monthly maximum to protect groundwater.

The Environmental Review Tribunal found the settlement consistent with the Environmental Protection Act and in the public interest, directed the amendment of the condition, and dismissed the appeal upon its withdrawal.

The Appellant appealed the terms and conditions of an Amended Environmental Compliance Approval for domestic sewage works.

The Director requested a telephone conference to confirm whether the Appellant also represented the individual sewage works owners.

The Tribunal found that the Appellant had the necessary legal authority to pursue the appeal on behalf of the individual owners based on an agency agreement, and directed the parties to provide a joint proposal for scheduling a stay motion.
