Failure to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter shall be grounds to refuse issuance of a permit to drill or to revoke a permit already issued by the Municipality. The Mayor or his or her authorized representative shall also have the authority to order the immediate cessation of all drilling or any other work at the site where he or she finds specific cause, as identified elsewhere in this chapter, or where continuation would constitute a direct danger to persons or property.
Revocation of a permit or issuance of a stop order shall remove all rights of the permit holder to continue operations until such time as steps are taken and approved to come into compliance with this chapter. Any operation carried on by the permit holder after revocation of the permit or issuance of a stop order shall constitute a violation of this chapter and shall be punishable as provided in Section 929.99.
