The Department may, on its own motion or at the request of any person, review: an emergency
certification issued by a conservation commission and any work permitted thereunder; a denial by a
conservation commission of a request for emergency certification; or the failure by a conservation
commission to act within 24 hours of a request for emergency certification. Such review shall not
operate to stay the work permitted by the emergency certification unless the Department specifically so
orders. The Department's review shall be conducted within seven days of: issuance by a conservation
commission of the emergency certification; denial by a conservation commission of the emergency
certification; or failure by a conservation commission to act within 24 hours of a request for emergency
certification. If certification was improperly granted, or the work allowed thereunder is excessive or not
required to protect the health and safety of citizens of the Commonwealth, the Department may revoke
the emergency certification, condition the work permitted thereunder, or take such other action as it
deems appropriate.
