(A) In addition to the other enforcement powers and remedies established by this chapter, an Authorized Enforcement Officer has the authority to pursue and take the following administrative actions:
(1) Cease and desist orders. When an authorized enforcement officer finds that a discharge has taken place or is likely to take place in violation of this chapter, the officer may issue an order to cease and desist such discharge, practice or operation likely to cause such discharge and direct that those persons not complying shall:
(a) Comply with the requirement;
(b) Comply with a time schedule; and/or
(c) Take appropriate remedial or preventive action to prevent the violation from recurring.
(2) Notice to clean. Whenever an Authorized Enforcement Officer finds any oil, earth, dirt, grass, weeds, dead trees, tin cans, rubbish, refuse, waste or any other material of any kind in or upon any parcel of lands or upon any premises of land or grounds which may result in an increase in pollutants entering a storm drain system, street system or natural watercourse or a non-storm water discharge to a storm drain system, street system or natural watercourse, he or she may give notice to remove such oil, earth, dirt, grass, weeds, dead trees, tin cans, rubbish, refuse, waste or other material in any manner that he or she may reasonably provide. The recipient of the notice shall undertake the activities as described in the notice. In the event the owner or operator of premises fails to conduct the activities as described in the notice, the authorized enforcement officer may cause such required activities as described in the notice to be performed by city or a contractor hired by the city and the cost thereof shall be invoiced to the owner of the premises. If the invoice is not paid within 60 days, a lien shall be placed upon and against the premises.

An authorized enforcement officer may serve a stop work order on any person engaged in doing or causing to be done construction, improvements or other activity in violation of this chapter.
