Water Related Enforcement Activity
Certain water related enforcement activity is posted weekly to this Web page, including Director’s Orders, Commissioner’s Orders, Agreed Orders and Rulings of the Water Quality Control Board and Notices of Intent to Appeal. When cases are appealed, the law (T.C.A. §4-5-310) provides an opportunity to intervene to become a party in the pending case. To do so, a petition should be filed with the Secretary of State, Administrative Procedures Division. Water related enforcement activity for the most recent week is identified and presented with short summary and link to full documentation through the Case No. Previous water related enforcement activity are archived in batch links at the bottom of this page.
Timely access to public information is important to the department. We are developing an online application that will connect to a database containing enforcement activities across all department divisions. We look forward to providing this Web-based public information resource in the future.Week of September 14 - September 20
