(a) When a director finds that any person has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this chapter, or any permit or order issued hereunder, such director may issue a compliance order to the violator, directing the violator to come into compliance within a specified time limit.
(b) Compliance orders may contain other requirements to address noncompliance, including additional management practices and self-monitoring to minimize the amount of pollutants discharged.
(c) A compliance order may not extend the deadline for compliance established by a state or federal standard or requirement.
(d) A compliance order shall not relieve a violator of liability for any violation, including any continuing violation.
(e) A person receiving a compliance order may file a written notice of appeal with the director, no later than the tenth day after receipt of the order. Such notice of appeal shall include an explanation as to why the person believes the enforcement action should not be taken.
(f) Issuance of a compliance order shall not be a bar against, nor a prerequisite for, taking any other action against a violator.
