The Administrative Court dismissed the company's appeal against the Environmental Board's order requiring them to evaluate alternative methods for handling landfill leachate and runoff water. The company argued that the order lacked legal basis because no illegal act or omission was alleged under the Water Act, and no permit application was involved. The court upheld the decision, ruling that the board had the authority to mandate such assessments regardless of prior violations or permit requirements.

Ympäristölautakunta oli virka-apuhakemuksessaan vaatinut, että

yhtiö velvoitetaan selvittämään kaatopaikan suoto- ja valumavesien

jokeen johtamiselle vaihtoehtoisia käsittelymenetelmiä

sekä esittämään aikataulu niiden käyttöönotolle määräaikaan

mennessä.

VEO ja VYO hylkäsivät hakemuksen katsoen, ettei virka-avulle

ollut oikeudellisia edellytyksiä. VYO totesi, että hakemuksessa

ei ollut väitetty, että yhtiö olisi syyllistynyt johonkin

vesilain tarkoittamaan oikeudettomaan tekoon tai laiminlyöntiin,

minkä johdosta yhtiö olisi määrättävä oikaisemaan se,

mitä oikeudettomasti on tehty tai laiminlyöty. Asiassa ei ollut

kysymys myöskään siitä, edellyttikö kaatopaikan suoto- ja

valumavesien vesistöön johtaminen VEO:n luvan hakemista.

VesiL 21 luku 3 §
