Act 48 of 1980, § 14

Section 14. Appeals.

(a) Any person or municipality aggrieved by an action of the department shall have the right within 30 days of the receipt of notice of such action to appeal such action to the Environmental Hearing Board, pursuant to section 1921-A of the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as "The Administrative Code of 1929," and the Administrative Agency Law.

(b) An appeal of any action under this act shall not act as a supersedeas. A supersedeas may be granted by the Environmental Hearing Board upon a showing by the petitioner:

(1) that irreparable harm to the petitioner or other interested parties will result if supersedeas is denied;

(2) that there is a likelihood of the petitioner's success on the merits; and

(3) that the grant of a supersedeas will not result in irreparable harm to the Commonwealth.

The hearing board may grant such a supersedeas subject to such security as it may deem proper.

Compiler's Note: Section 504 of Act 164 of 1980 provided that section 14 is repealed insofar as it is inconsistent with Act 164.
