The Regional Municipality of Niagara issued an order under s. 100.1 of the Environmental Protection Act to recover over $3.6 million in cleanup costs related to a spill.

Several named parties appealed the order to the Environmental Review Tribunal.

Prior to the hearing, the Region proposed revoking the order against one appellant whose estate lacked funds, and two other appellants sought to withdraw their appeals.

The Tribunal found the revocation consistent with the Act's purpose and the public interest, and accepted the withdrawal of the remaining appeals, dismissing the proceedings.
