The Authority may for good cause shown suspend the wastewater treatment service and the wastewater discharge permit of a discharger when it appears to the Authority that an actual or threatened discharge presents or threatens an imminent or substantial danger to the health or welfare of persons, substantial danger to the environment, interferes with the operation of the POTW, violates any pretreatment limits imposed by this chapter or any wastewater discharge permit issued pursuant to this chapter. Any discharger notified of the suspension of the Authority's wastewater treatment service and/or the discharger's wastewater discharge permit shall, within a reasonable period of time as determined by the Authority, cease all discharges. In the event of failure of the discharger to comply voluntarily with the suspension order within the specified time, the Authority shall commence judicial proceedings immediately thereafter to compel the discharger's compliance with such order. The Authority shall reinstate the wastewater discharge permit and/or the wastewater treatment service and terminate judicial proceedings pending proof by the discharger of the elimination of the noncomplying discharge or conditions creating the threat of imminent or substantial danger as set forth above.
