What are Unilateral Administrative Orders?
Unilateral Administrative Orders (UAOs) are legal devices issued by regulatory agencies to compel parties to do – or refrain from doing – certain actions. EPA and state environmental agencies use UAOs to compel landowners to refrain from certain activities on their property. UAOs are a type of enforcement tool used to ensure the protection of remedial action.
