Section 22a-626 - Orders to correct or abate violations(a) The Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection may issue, modify or revoke orders to correct or abate violations of this chapter, including, but not limited to, any regulation adopted pursuant to this chapter. Any such order may include remedial measures necessary to correct or abate such violations. Such orders may be issued to any person who violates any provision of chapter 446d or any regulation adopted pursuant to this chapter.(b) Each order issued under this chapter shall be served by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by a state marshal or indifferent person. If a state marshal or indifferent person serves the order, a true copy of the order shall be served, and the original, with a return of such service endorsed thereon, shall be filed with the commissioner. The order shall be deemed to be issued upon service or upon deposit in the mail. Any order issued pursuant to chapter 446d shall state the basis on which it is issued.(c) Unless a person aggrieved by an order files a written request for a hearing before the commissioner not later than thirty days after the date of issuance, such order shall become final. If requested, the commissioner shall hold a hearing as soon thereafter as practicable. A request for a hearing shall be a condition precedent to any appeal. The commissioner may, after the hearing or at any time after the issuance of the order, modify such order by agreement or extend the time schedule therefor if the commissioner deems such modification or extension advisable or necessary, and any such modification or extension shall be deemed to be a revision of an existing order and shall not constitute a new order. There shall be no hearing subsequent to or any appeal from any such modification or extension.(d) After hearing, the commissioner shall consider all supporting and rebutting evidence and affirm, modify or revoke such order in the commissioner's discretion and shall so notify the recipient of the order by certified mail, return receipt requested.(e) The final order of the commissioner shall be subject to appeal as set forth in sections 4-183 and 4-184, except that any such appeal shall be taken to the superior court for the judicial district of New Britain.Conn.
