Idaho § 39-116 - Compliance schedules

§ 39-116. Compliance schedules

The director shall have the authority to issue compliance schedule orders to any person who is the source of any health hazard, air contaminant, water pollution or solid waste for which regulatory standards have been established, including regulatory standards then in effect or to become effective at a future date or at future successive dates. The purpose of any compliance schedule order shall be to identify and establish appropriate acts and time schedules for interim actions by those persons who are or who will be affected by regulatory standards, such acts and schedules being designed to assure timely compliance by those affected by the regulatory standards. Prior to the issuance of a compliance schedule order, the director shall solicit the cooperation of the person to whom the compliance schedule order will be directed by providing the person notice that identifies with reasonable specificity the applicable statutes and rules, the events or occurrences that necessitate the order, and the proposed terms of the order and that informs the person that a conference with the director to discuss the proposed terms of the order shall be provided if requested within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the notice. If requested, the director shall confer with the person and shall solicit the person’s cooperation in the selection of the terms of the order. The compliance schedule order may be issued at any time after the conference, if one is requested, and the expiration of sixty (60) days following the receipt of the notice. Any compliance schedule order shall be enforceable in the same manner as any order entered pursuant to section 39-108 , Idaho Code, except the order may be challenged by an administrative appeal to the board as provided in section 39-107 (5), Idaho Code. The order shall be effective and enforceable during an administrative appeal, unless the board or its designated hearing officer issues a stay of the order.
