10 V.S.A. Section 8008 authorizes the Secretary to issue an Administrative Order (AO) when it is determined that a violation exists.

When an AO is filed, the Environmental Court will sign the AO in the event that it is properly served on a respondent; the respondent does not request a hearing within 15 days of receipt of the AO; and the AO otherwise meets the requirements of 10 V.S.A. Chapter 201. When signed by the Environmental Court, the AO becomes a Judicial Order.
