§ 53.142 NOTICE OF VIOLATION.
   (A)   Any user found to be violating any provisions of this chapter, wastewater permit, or any order issued hereunder, may be served by the city with written notice stating the nature of the violation(s). The user shall submit a written explanation of the violation and a plan for the satisfactory correction and prevention thereof, to include specific required actions, shall be submitted to the POTW Director/General Manager. Submission of this plan in no way relieves the user of potential liability for any violation occurring before or after receipt of the notice of the violation.
   (B)   If the violations persist or the explanation and/or plan are not adequate, the city's response shall be more formal and commitments (or schedules as appropriate) for compliance will be established in an enforceable document. The enforcement response selected will be related to the seriousness of the violation. Enforcement responses will be escalated if compliance is not achieved expeditiously after the initial action. Identification of significant non-compliance as defined in § 53.094, will require a formal enforcement action.
   (C)   The full scale of enforcement actions and implementation of such is as detailed in the city's enforcement response plan.
