The appellants appealed a Director's Order requiring maintenance, monitoring, and financial assurance for a closed waste disposal site.

The parties reached a settlement agreement involving a comprehensive work plan, increased financial assurance of $1,000,000, and the release of former corporate directors from liability.

The Tribunal found the settlement satisfied the statutory requirements of the Environmental Protection Act and was in the public interest.

The Tribunal directed the revocation of the Director's Order and dismissed the proceedings.

After the required remediation work was completed by some of the appellants, the Director proposed to revoke the order.

The Environmental Review Tribunal found the proposed revocation to be consistent with the purpose of the Environmental Protection Act and in the public interest.

The Tribunal revoked the order and dismissed the appeals.
