    Disposition:
    BOARD ISSUES A STAY AGAINST PERMIT PENDING APPEAL HEARING

    Summary

    Decision Date: August 30, 1995

    Panel: Judith C. Lee

    The Deputy Administrator granted a multi-year permit to the Ministry of Forests to apply “Tordon K” and “Round-up” in the Robson Valley District. Robson Alternatives to Pesticides appealed the permit and requested that the Board grant a stay against the use of the permit. The Deputy Administrator did not object to a stay provided it was done after the Ministry had completed its summer spray program. The Ministry did object saying a stay would put them in violation of the Weed Control Act if the stay were issued before the end of August.

    The Board granted a stay finding no objection by the parties as long as it took effect after August 30, 1995.
