The Director may serve a written Notice of Violation on any User that the Director finds has violated any provision of this Ordinance, including terms or requirements of a permit, order, or a Pretreatment Standard or requirement. In all cases in this Ordinance, a continuation of a violation of a provision of this Ordinance is a “violation”. Users shall, in response to a Notice of Violation, provide the Director a written explanation of the violation, its cause, and a corrective action plan within thirty (30) days of the receiving this notice. Users submitting plans to correct noncompliance must include the specific actions they will take to correct ongoing and prevent future violations at the soonest practicable date. The Director’s acceptance of a plan does not relieve a User of liability for any violations. The Director may also take any action, including emergency actions or any other enforcement action, without first issuing a Notice of Violation. (Ord. M-3970 §2, 2010)
