Sec. 8.08.
Judicial Relief.
The Department may request the Attorney General
to institute a civil action for relief, including a temporary restraining
order or a preliminary or permanent injunction, or any other appropriate order
in the circuit court in the county in which the mining and reclamation
operation is located or in which the permittee thereof has his principal
office, whenever such permittee or his agent (a) violates, or fails or refuses
to comply with, any order or decision issued by the Department under this
Act; or (b) interferes with, hinders, or delays the Department or its
authorized representatives in carrying out the provisions of this Act; or
(c) refuses to admit the authorized representative of the Department to the
mining operations or (d) refuses to permit inspection of the mining
operations by such authorized representatives; or (e) refuses to furnish
any information or report requested by the Department in furtherance of the
provisions of this Act; or (f) refuses to permit access to, and copying of,
such records as the Department determines necessary in carrying out the
provisions of this Act. Such court shall have jurisdiction to provide such
relief as may be appropriate. Temporary restraining orders shall be entered
in accordance with law. Any relief granted by the court to enforce an order
under clause (a) of this Section shall continue in effect until the
completion or final termination of all proceedings for review of such order
under this Act, unless, prior thereto, the court granting such relief sets
it aside or modifies it.
