(a) Sites that are in violation with the requirements on this chapter as, determined by the Storm Water Program Manager, shall be required to take immediate actions to correct the violations.

Sites subject to such actions cannot resume work until all violations are corrected to the satisfaction of the Storm Water Program Manager and such restrictions are suspended in writing. In cases where a violation notice has been issued for a site, the owner/agent shall be granted a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed five calendar days to respond, in writing, to the violations and provide a timeline to complete the necessary corrections. The Storm Water Program Manager shall review and approve the appropriate timelines as he or she feels is appropriate for the violations under review.
