    BOARD ISSUES A STAY AGAINST PERMIT PENDING APPEAL HEARING

    Summary

    Decision Date: August 30, 1995

    Panel: Judith C. Lee

    The Deputy Administrator issued a multi-year permit to Slocan Forest Products Ltd. (Slocan) to apply the herbicide “Vision” in the Valemont area of B.C. by aerial spray or back-pack sprayer. Robson Alternatives to Pesticides appealed the permit and requested that the Board grant a stay against the use of the permit.

    The Board granted a stay to take effect after September 8, 1995 since it was found that there was no evidence of irreparable harm to Slocan if the stay was granted after that date.
