(4) The abatement or remediation of storm water pollution or contamination hazards and the restoration of any affected property;
(5) Payment of a fine to cover any administrative and legal costs; and
(6) The implementation of source control or treatment BMPs.
(b) If abatement of a violation and/or restoration of affected property are required, the Notice of Violation shall set forth a deadline within which such remediation or restoration must be completed. Said notice shall further advise that, should the facility owner or operator fail to remediate or restore within the established deadline, legal action for enforcement may be initiated.
(c) Any person receiving a notice of violation must meet compliance standards within the time established in the notice of violation.
