WAC 332-08-442   Surface mining -- Appeal procedures for stop work orders.  What appeal procedures apply to surface mining stop work orders? The procedures in WAC 332-08-401 through 332-08-441 apply to challenges of stop work orders; however, the department shall proceed as quickly as feasible to complete the requested adjudicative proceeding for any immediately effective stop work order. DNR shall request the office of administrative hearings to quickly schedule and hear the matter. Neither the department nor the office of administrative hearings is required to review an appeal more quickly than the parties' agreed timeline. If the department issues a stop work order that is not effective immediately, the department and the office of administrative hearings may proceed on a normal schedule.
