§ 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.
