What is a consent order?
A consent order is a negotiated order. It is issued to an owner or other responsible party to perform specific actions that will bring the entity into compliance with the relevant law and regulations. Consent orders are developed cooperatively with the facility and entered into by mutual agreement, even though the consent order is an order to the facility to comply. DEQ regional offices are responsible for developing consent orders and generally draft them after one or more meetings with the facility. The consent order may also detail the assessment and collection of civil charges for past violations. DEQ and the Air, Water and Waste Boards issue a variety of enforcement orders to facilities to secure compliance with environmental laws or regulations. Water and Waste consent orders are available for public comment prior to the issuance of the final order.
