Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 30:2050.22

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Compliance order: means an order issued by the secretary or an assistant secretary requiring a respondent to comply with specified provisions of this Subtitle, a rule, or a permit within a specified period of time. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 30:2004
  • Department: means the Department of Environmental Quality. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 30:2004
  • Respondent: means the person against whom an enforcement action is directed. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 30:2004
  • Secretary: means the secretary of the Department of Environmental Quality. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 30:2004

A.  A respondent may also appeal a penalty assessment suspensively.

B.  The filing of an appeal does not stay a compliance order, a final permit action, or a declaratory ruling.  However, the secretary may grant, or the court may order, a stay with appropriate terms.  The court may order a stay of a final permit action only after notice to the department and the permittee and an opportunity for a hearing on the requested stay.
