State of Vermont Public Notice & Opportunity to Comment
I. Proposed Enforcement Actions: The Agency has created this web page to allow the public an opportunity to meaningfully participate in the environmental enforcement process. Clicking on the links below provides a listing of proposed Assurances of Discontinuance (AODs), Administrative Orders (AOs), or Civil Complaints and allows anyone the opportunity to provide written comments about these proposed enforcement actions prior to them becoming final orders. All comments received during the 30 day comment period will be evaluated by the assigned environmental enforcement attorney or staff person. Modifications to the proposed environmental enforcement actions will be made in response to comments received when warranted, and prior to any final order being issued.
II. Final Proposed Enforcement Actions: Below is a listing of final AOD’s, AO’s, and Civil Complaints that completed the 30-day public comment period and have been filed with the Environmental Court. Clicking on each link provides a copy of the filed document. Any person that provided written comments on the document during the 30-day comment period, who is not satisfied with the final action, and who meets the definition of “aggrieved person” as defined in 10 V.S.A. Section 8020(a), may file a motion for permissive intervention pursuant to Vermont Rule of Civil Procedure 24(c) and 10 V.S.A. Section 8020 within 14 days of the filing of the final proposed action. If a motion is filed, the Court may hold one or more hearings to determine whether to permit intervention or to evaluate the claims within the motion. Once approved by the Environmental Court, these AODs become final court orders and are posted on our Assurances of Discontinuance (AODs) page. Administrative Orders and Civil Complaints may become final court orders when a hearing is not requested. If a hearing is requested, the matter proceeds to a court trial. All final AOs are posted on the Administrative Orders (AOs) page. All final Civil Complaints are posted on the Civil Complaints page. These pages are word searchable.
Below is a listing of Emergency Orders (EOs) that have been filed with the Environmental Court. Clicking on each link provides a copy of the filed document. Any person may file a motion for permissive intervention pursuant to Vermont Rule of Civil Procedure 24(c) and 10 V.S.A. Section 8020 within 14 days of the filing of the EO. A motion to intervene does not stay an EO. If a motion is filed, the Court may hold one or more hearings to determine whether to permit intervention or to evaluate the claims within the motion. A respondent may request a hearing on an EO. If a hearing is requested, the matter proceeds to a court trial. All final EOs are posted on the Emergency Orders (EOs) page which is word searchable.
