Guidance on enforcement of this chapter, including those responsibilities agreed to under the maintenance agreements, shall be referenced in Chapter 153 of the Dublin Code of Ordinances. If at any time the City Engineer determines that the project is not in accordance with the approved plan, or if any project subject to the stormwater regulations is being carried out without an approved plan, the City Engineer is authorized to:
(A) Give the legal entity written notice of the corrective action required to be taken. Should the legal entity fail within 30 days of the date of the notice to complete such corrective action, the City Engineer may enter upon the property, and take the necessary corrective action and assess fees for such action to the violator. If fees are not paid by the violator at the time the service is provided, the city has the right to pursue collection of fees through certification to the County Auditor, remittance to a collection service, or any other appropriate pursuit for payment.
(B) Take appropriate corrective action in the event of an emergency situation which endangers persons or property, or both, as determined to exist by the City Engineer.
(C) Issue written notice to the applicant specifying the nature and location of the alleged noncompliance, with a description of the remedial actions necessary to bring the project into compliance within five working days.
(D) Issue a stop-work order directing the applicant or persons in possession to cease and desist all or any portion of the work which violates the provisions of the stormwater regulations if the remedial work is not completed within the specified time. The applicant shall then bring the project into compliance.
