§ 16-514 Emergency suspension of license or registration.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter or rules promulgated thereto, the commission may, upon a determination that the operation of the business of a licensee or the removal of waste by a business required by this chapter to be registered creates an imminent danger to life or property, or upon a finding that there has likely been false or fraudulent information submitted in an application pursuant to section 16-507 or section 16-508 of this chapter, immediately suspend such license or registration without a prior hearing, provided that provision shall be made for an immediate appeal of such suspension to the chair of the commission who shall determine such appeal forthwith. In the event that the chair upholds the suspension, an opportunity for a hearing shall be provided on an expedited basis, within a period not to exceed four business days and the commission shall issue a final determination no later than four days following the conclusion of such hearing.
