(A) The Township Ordinance Enforcement Officer (OEO) and any other duly authorized agent shall have the power and duty to enforce the provisions of this chapter.
(B) The township may issue such orders as are necessary to aid in the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter. These orders shall include, but shall not be limited to, orders requiring persons to cease unlawful open burning which, in the course of its occurrence, is in violation of any provision of this chapter; orders to take corrective action or to abate a public nuisance; orders requiring the testing, sampling or monitoring of any open burning; or orders requiring production of information. Such an order may be issued if the Township OEO finds that any condition existing in or on the facility or source involved is causing or contributing to open burning or if the Township OEO finds that any person is in violation of any provision of this chapter.
(C) The township may, in its order, require compliance with such conditions as are necessary to prevent or abate open burning or affect the purposes of this chapter.
(D) An order issued under this section shall take effect upon notice unless the order specifies otherwise. An appeal to the Board of Supervisors of the township shall not act as a supersede; provided, however, that, upon application and for cause shown, the Board of Supervisors may issue such a supersede as under rules established by the Board of Supervisors.
(E) The authority of the township to issue an order under this section is in addition to any remedy or penalty which may be imposed pursuant to this chapter. Failure to comply with any such order is hereby declared to be a public nuisance.
