ORDINANCE N0. 2007-013 SECTION 25. CREATION OF NEW SECTION 201.83 OF THE CODE Commencing on the Effective Date of this Ordinance, the following section is created to read as follows: Section 201.83. Administrative Enforcement Remedies (A) Notification of Violation. When the County Administrator finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this Ordinance, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the County Administrator may serve upon that user a written Notice of Violation. Within thirty (30) days of the receipt of this notice, an explanation of the violation and a plan of the satisfactory correction and prevention thereof, to include specific required actions, shall be submitted by the user to the County Administrator. Submission of this plan in no way relieves the user of liability for any violations occurring before or after receipt of the Notice of Violation. Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the County Administrator to take any action, including emergency actions or any other enforcement action, without first issuing a Notice of Violation. (B) Consent Orders. The County Administrator may enter into Consent Orders, assurances of voluntary compliance, or other similar documents establishing an agreement with any user responsible for noncompliance. Such documents will include specific action to be taken by the user to correct the noncompliance within a time period specified by the document. Such documents shall have the same force and effect as the administrative orders issued pursuant to sections 201.83(D) and (E) of this Ordinance and shall be judicially enforceable. (C) Show Cause Hearing. The County Administrator may order a user which has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this Ordinance, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, to appear before the County Administrator and show cause why the proposed enforcement action should not be taken. Notice shall be served on the user specifying the time and place for the meeting, the proposed enforcement action, the reasons for such action, and a request that the user show cause why the proposed enforcement action should not be taken. The notice of the meeting shall be served personally or by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) at least thirty, (30) days prior to the meeting. Such notice may be served on any authorized representative of the user. A show cause hearing shall not be a bar against, or prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user. (D) Compliance Orders. When the County Administrator finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this Ordinance, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the County Administrator may issue an order to the user responsible for the discharge directing that the user come into compliance within a specified time. If the user does not come into compliance within the time provided, sewer service may be discontinued 32
