Connecticut General Statutes Title 22A. Environmental Protection § 22a-363f. Cease and desist orders. Hearing. Decision

Whenever the commissioner finds after investigation that any person is conducting or is about to conduct an activity for which a certificate, permit or authorization is required without obtaining such certificate, permit or authorization he may, without prior hearing, issue a cease and desist order in writing to such person to discontinue, abate or alleviate such condition or activity. Upon receipt of such order and until such time as a new decision based upon a hearing is made such person shall immediately discontinue, abate or alleviate or shall refrain from causing, engaging in or maintaining such condition or activity. The commissioner shall, within ten days of such order, hold a hearing to provide the person with an opportunity to be heard and show that (1) no certificate, permit or authorization was required, or (2) required certificates, permits or authorizations have been obtained. A new decision based on the hearing shall be made within ten days of the close of the hearing or the filing of briefs.
