Eastern Region Final Reports of Examination

Final Reports

Final Reports of Examination will be normally posted on the Program’s internet pages within 10 working days of signature by the section manager.  These Reports of Examination are Ecology’s final decisions and may be appealed to the Pollution Control Hearing Board.

The date of posting of a final Report of Examination to the Internet site begins the required 60 day public posting period. This posting does not begin the statutory 30-day appeal period. 
Appeals of final decisions to the Pollution Control Hearings Board (PCHB) must be filed in accordance with the provisions of RCW 43.21B.

Contact the appropriate regional office for the exact appeal date timeframe.

The PCHB appeal procedures can be found at:

• Environmental Hearings Office Pollution Control Hearings Board
  • “Your Right to be Heard” - An informal guide to your rights and responsibilities in an appeal
• Chapter 371-08 WAC - Pollution Control Hearings Board Practice and Procedure
