(a) Suspension due to illicit discharges in emergency situations. The City Engineer may, without prior notice, suspend discharge access to the storm drainage system to a person, when such suspension is necessary to stop an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present imminent and substantial danger to the environment, or to the health or welfare of persons, or to the storm drainage system or the waters of Danville. If the violator fails to comply with a suspension order issued in an emergency, the City Engineer may take such steps as deemed necessary to prevent or minimize damage to the storm drainage system or the waters of Danville, or to minimize danger to persons.
(b) Suspension due to the detection of illicit discharge. Any person discharging to the storm drainage system in violation of this article may have their access terminated, if such termination would abate or reduce an illicit discharge. The City Engineer shall notify a violator of the proposed termination of its storm drainage system access. A person commits an offense if the person reinstates access to premises terminated pursuant to this section, without the prior written approval of the City Engineer.
