Kimble Clay & Limestone v. McAvoy

In Kimble Clay & Limestone v. McAvoy (1979), 59 Ohio St.2d 94, 391 N.E.2d 1030, the appellant appealed from an Environmental Board of Review ("EBR") (the predecessor to ERAC) order affirming the Director's denial of a permit to the Tuscarawas County Court of Appeals. The Supreme Court of Ohio held that, since the appeal arose from a permit denial proceeding, and not an enforcement proceeding, the appellant should have brought the appeal in this court pursuant to R.C. 3745.06. The court based its decision on a provision in R.C. 3745.06, which expressly directs aggrieved parties to file EBR appeals in this court unless the ERAC order is based upon "an alleged violation of a law or regulation." Id., at 96-97.
