clean-up orders

Clean-up orders are official directives issued by authorities or courts that require individuals or organizations to remove or remediate contaminated, hazardous, or undesirable substances from a property or environment. These orders are issued to ensure that potentially harmful conditions are addressed to protect public health and the environment. Compliance typically involves identifying the problem, developing a plan to address it, and completing the necessary cleanup within a specified timeframe. Non-compliance can result in legal consequences or penalties. Essentially, clean-up orders mandate responsible parties to restore a site to a safe and acceptable condition.
