(A) The JSEWD, to ensure compliance with this chapter, and as permitted through 40 C.F.R. Subchapter N, and 401 KAR 5:055, may take the enforcement steps enumerated herein against any person in noncompliance with this chapter: injunctive relief. These enforcement steps are not exclusive of each other such that the use of 1 prevents the simultaneous or later use of 1 or more of the others. The authority for the enforcement of this chapter shall be vested in the JSEWD.
(B) The JSEWD may suspend the wastewater treatment service and/or a wastewater contribution permit without notice, when a suspension without notice is necessary in the sole and unfettered opinion of the JSEWD, in order to stop an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons or the environment, causes interference to the POTW or causes the JSEWD to violate any condition of any NPDES/KPDES permit.
(C) Any user notified of a suspension of the wastewater treatment service and/or the wastewater contribution permit shall immediately stop or eliminate the contribution. In the event of a failure of the user to comply voluntarily with the suspension order, the JSEWD shall take steps as deemed necessary in its sole and unfettered discretion, including immediate severance of the sewer connection, to prevent or minimize damage to the POTW system or endangerment to any individuals. The JSEWD shall reinstate the wastewater contribution permit and/or the wastewater treatment service upon proof of the elimination of the noncomplying discharge. A detailed written statement submitted by the user describing the causes of the harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence shall be submitted to the JSEWD within 15 days of the date of occurrence.
