Common confusion points
Confusing 'Order' with 'Notice': A Notice informs; an Order directs action legally.
Not knowing which section of the Act applies: Always confirm if it is 28A(1) specifically, not just 'Air Pollution Act'.
Thinking a simple letter suffices: For formal enforcement, this specific form (96.4) must be used.
Incorrectly dating the Order: The date matters for compliance timelines set out in the order itself.
