(A) The Irvine Municipal Utility may revoke a permit for industrial wastewater discharge on a finding that the discharger has violated any provision of this chapter. No revocation shall be ordered until a hearing on the question has been held by the Hearing Board. At this hearing, the discharger may appear personally or through counsel, cross-examine witnesses or present evidence in his or her behalf. Notice of the hearing shall be given to the discharger at least 15 days prior to the date of hearing.
(B) Any discharger whose permit has been revoked shall immediately stop all discharge of any liquid-carried wastes covered by the permit to any public sewer that is tributary to the sewerage system of the city. The Irvine Municipal Utility may disconnect or permanently block from the public sewer the industrial connection sewer of any discharger whose permit has been revoked if the action is necessary to ensure compliance with the order of revocation.
(C) Before any further discharge of industrial wastewater may be made by the discharger, he or she must apply for a new permit for industrial wastewater discharge, pay all charges that would be required upon initial application together with all delinquent fees, charges and penalties, and any other sums as the discharger may owe to the city. Costs incurred by the city in revoking the permit and disconnecting the industrial connection sewer shall be paid for by the discharger before issuance of a new permit for industrial wastewater discharge.
