Whenever the authorized enforcement agency finds that a person has violated a prohibition or failed to meet a requirement of this chapter, then the authorized enforcement agency may order compliance by written notice of violation to the responsible person. In instances where immediate action is deemed necessary for public safety or the public interest, the authorized enforcement agency may order compliance verbally, pending issuance of a written order. Such notice may require without limitation:
(a) The performance of monitoring, analyses and reporting;
(b) The elimination of illicit discharges or illegal connections;
(c) Cessation and desist of the violating discharges, practices or operations;
(d) The abatement or remediation of storm water pollution or contamination hazards and the restoration of any affected property;
(e) Payment of a fine to cover administrative and remediation costs; and
(f) The implementation of source control or treatment BMPs.
If abatement of a violation and/or restoration of affected property is required, the notice shall set forth a deadline within which such remediation or restoration must be completed. Said notice shall further advise that should the violator fail to remediate or restore within the established deadline, the work shall be performed by the authorized enforcement agency or a contractor designated by the City of Fremont, and the expense thereof shall be charged to the violator.
