Appeal of environmental protection order dismissed; appellants ordered to assess and remediate failing septic system.
The appellants appealed a Director's Order requiring them to assess and remediate a failing septic system at their RV resort.
The Ministry presented evidence of sewage ponding and saturation, arguing that the system posed risks to human health and the environment.
The Tribunal accepted the uncontradicted expert evidence that a professional assessment and interim remedial measures were necessary.
The appeal was dismissed, and the Director's Order was confirmed and amended to include additional required actions to prevent further environmental harm.
