(a) 
Grounds for Issuance. The Planning Director may issue a stop work order to any person who: 1) fails to obtain a permit; or 2) fails to comply with the terms of a permit; or 3) causes unforeseen damage or threat of damage to tribal property that significantly impacts the environment based on one or more of the following factors:
(i) 
Adverse effects on the quantity and quality of the fish and shellfish resources of the Tribe;
(ii) 
Unique or sensitive characteristics of the geographic or hydrologic area (water and adjacent area) in which the activity is taking place;
(iii) 
Adverse effects on an endangered or threatened species or its habitat;
(iv) 
Loss or destruction of culturally significant plant materials;
(v) 
Loss or destruction of cultural, historical, or scientific resources;
(vi) 
Adverse effects on the health and safety of the Port Gamble S’Klallam tribal community;
(vii) 
Whether effects of the activity are uncertain or involve unique or unknown risks;
(viii) 
Whether the activity may establish a precedent for future actions with significant environmental impacts; or
(ix) 
Whether the action is related to other actions with individually insignificant but cumulatively significant impacts on the environment; or
(x) 
Whether the action threatens a violation of applicable law or interlocal cooperation agreement to which the Tribe is a party imposed for the protection of the environment.
(b) 
Contents. A stop work order shall set forth the facts alleged to constitute a violation or unforeseen damage or threat of damage to tribal property and the time and date when such acts or practices must be terminated.
(c) 
Remedy Not Exclusive. A civil infraction or criminal offense may be charged regardless of whether the Planning Director has issued a stop work order.
(d) 
Service. A stop work order shall be posted at the site of the alleged violation, and if an address has been provided on the permit application, shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested. It may also be served in person.
(Res. 04-A-053 6/8/2004)
The Planning Director may conduct an informal hearing upon request by any permit holder subject to a stop work order. The purpose of this hearing is to determine whether the activity subject to the stop work order may resume under any circumstances. This determination shall be made at the discretion of the Planning Director. If the activity may be resumed without further violations of this title or further unforeseen damage or threat of damage to tribal property, the Planning Director may suspend the stop work order and issue a temporary permit. The temporary permit may include such clean up provisions, conditions, or any other measures as are necessary for prevention, mitigation, or remediation of adverse environmental impacts. Activity may resume upon issuance of the temporary permit, which shall be submitted to the Tribal Council for review. The Tribal Council may:
(a) 
Approve the Temporary Permit. No action by the Tribal Council constitutes approval of the temporary permit. There is no reconsideration or appeal if the temporary permit is approved.
(b) 
Amend the Conditions in the Temporary Permit. If such amendments materially alter the temporary permit, the temporary permit holder may petition for reconsideration under chapter 24.05.
(c) 
Suspend or Revoke the Temporary Permit. If the activity cannot be continued without significant impact to the environment under any reasonable circumstances, the Tribal Council may suspend or revoke the temporary permit. The temporary permit holder may petition for reconsideration under chapter 24.05.
(Res. 04-A-053 6/8/2004)
If the Planning Director does not issue a temporary permit after an informal hearing under section 24.06.03, the Planning Director shall make a recommendation to the Tribal Council to either amend the existing conditions to the permit, add conditions to the permit, or suspend or revoke the permit. Amendments to the conditions or additional conditions to the permit may include clean up provisions, conditions, or other measures necessary for the prevention, mitigation, or remediation of adverse environmental impacts caused or likely to be caused by the activity. The Tribal Council shall make a decision to suspend or revoke the permit, amend the existing conditions to the permit, or add conditions to the permit within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the Planning Director’s recommendation. The permit holder may appeal the decision of the Tribal Council in accordance with chapter 24.05.
