(A) Notice of violation. Whenever the city finds that a person has violated, or failed to meet a requirement of, this chapter, the city may order compliance by written notice of violation to that person. Such notice may require without limitation:
(1) The performance of monitoring, analysis and reporting;
(2) The elimination of illicit discharges and connections;
(3) That violating discharges, practices or operations shall cease and desist;
(4) The abatement or remediation of stormwater pollution or contamination hazards, and the restoration of any affected property;
(5) Reimbursement of administrative and remediation costs;
(6) The implementation of source control or treatment BMPs; and
(7) Payment of fine.
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 provide that, should the violator fail to remediate or restore within the established deadline, the work will be done by a designated governmental agency or a contractor, and the expense thereof shall be charged to and recovered from the violator.
(B) Administrative fines.
(1) When the city finds that a person has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this chapter, the city may impose an administrative fine against such person in an amount not to exceed $2,500 on a per violation, per day basis, plus any administrative or remediation costs.
(2) Issuance of an administrative fine shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the person or enforcing this chapter.
