(A) To secure compliance with the requirements of this chapter, violations thereof shall be subject to the enforcement provisions set forth under § 52.607. Additionally, compliance with all applicable ordinances of the City of Decatur as well as with applicable State of Indiana statues and regulations shall also be required. Unless otherwise stated, all other specifications referred to in this chapter shall be the most recent edition available.
(B) Warning notice. When the Department finds that any person has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this chapter, or any order issued hereunder, the Department may serve upon that person a written warning notice, specifying the particular violation believed to have occurred and requesting the discharger to immediately investigate the matter and to seek a resolution whereby any offending discharge will cease. Investigation and/or resolution of the matter in response to the warning notice in no way relieves the alleged violator of liability for any violations occurring before or after receipt of the warning notice. Nothing in this subchapter shall limit the authority of the Department to take any action, including emergency action or any other enforcement action, without first issuing a warning notice.
