(a) 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 or to the environment or threatens to interfere with the operation of the POTW or to violate 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. If the discharger fails 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 in this section.
(b) The remedies provided for in this chapter are not exclusive. The City of Eaton may take any, all, or any combination of these actions against a noncompliant User. Enforcement of pretreatment violations will generally be in accordance with the City's enforcement response plan. However, the City may take other action against any User when the circumstances warrant. Further, the City is empowered to take more than one enforcement action against any noncompliant User.
