Summary
Decision Date: : March 13, 1997

Panel: Toby Vigod

Keywords: : Balance of convenience; irreparable harm; stay order

The Board found that the balance of convenience favoured LREPS. The permit, as written, may not adequately protect the environment as the issue of safe levels of discharge is still unresolved. The environment could suffer irreparable harm if a stay is not granted and the amount of discharge is later found by the Board to be unsafe. The application was granted.
