These regulations govern practice in all enforcement proceedings before the Board of Environmental Protection or the Department of Environmental Protection involving violations of any provisions of the laws or regulations which it administers, or of the terms or conditions of any of its orders or licenses. These regulations shall not apply to hearings on applications, whether ordinary hearings or those involving a significant public interest, but shall apply to hearings which may result in the revocation, modification or suspension of any license whenever such hearings are based upon the violation of any of the provisions of the laws administered by the Board or of the terms or conditions of any license. These regulations shall be construed to serve the just, speedy and inexpensive determination of every enforcement proceeding.
