2021 Tennessee Code
Part 1 - Water Quality Control Act
§ 69-3-139. Stop Work Orders for Coal Surface Mining Operations. [See Contingent Amendment to Subsection (C) and the Compiler’s notes.]

[Current version. See second version for contingent amendment and Compiler’s Notes.]
[Contingent amendment. See the Compiler’s Notes.]
A written request for a hearing before the board on the stop work order must be filed by the operator to the commissioner within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice. If the operator files that request and also makes a specific request for an informal meeting with the commissioner to show cause why the stop work order should not have been issued, then the commissioner or, at the commissioner's option, the deputy or assistant commissioner, shall meet with the operator within three (3) working days after the hearing request is filed. Any modification or revocation of the stop work order shall be in writing. If the commissioner or the commissioner's designee upholds the stop work order, it shall remain in effect until resolution of the appeal or until the operator comes into compliance. If no request for hearing is made within thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice, the stop work order becomes final and not subject to review.
