(A) Filing of complaint; notice to permittee. If, upon information or inspection, it is found that a permittee is violating any portion of this chapter or causing damage or pollution to any surface or underground treatable water, the oil and gas inspector shall file a written administrative complaint with the Mayor, a copy of which shall be delivered or mailed to the permittee or his or her agent.
(B) Action of Town Board. If upon subsequent inspection, it is determined that the permittee has taken the corrective actions specified, the complaint may be dismissed; otherwise, formal application will be made to the Town Board of Trustees for an order revoking the permit, and for any other appropriate remedy.
(C) Authority to shut down operations. Pending the outcome of the final determination of the Town Board of Trustees on the formal application, the oil and gas inspector shall, after an on-site inspection, have the authority to shut down those operations where conditions appear obvious that surface or underground pollution is occurring.
