1 Senior Commissioner: The dispute between the parties in these appeals related the breach of a condition of consent that required that construction does not occur below a certain RL on a contaminated part of the site. The applicant has constructed piles that breach the condition. At a case management meeting, however, the parties reached an agreement on a system of monitoring that satisfied both parties. Since the parties had agreed, the matter did not need to proceed to a hearing. The Court agreed that the parties had found a reasonable solution to the dispute and acceded to the request for consent orders.
