(A) When the Director finds that an industrial user has violated or continues to violate any provision of this chapter or requirement, the Director may serve upon that industrial user a written notice of violation. Within ten days of the receipt of this notice, an explanation of the violation and a plan for the satisfactory correction and prevention thereof, to include specific required actions, shall be submitted by the industrial user to the Director. Submission of this plan in no way relieves the industrial user of liability for any violations occurring before or after receipt of the notice of violation. Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the city to take any action, including emergency actions or any other enforcement action, without first issuing a notice of violation.
(B) When the Director finds that an industrial user has violated or continues to violate any provision of this chapter or order issued hereunder, or any other requirement of this chapter, the city may issue an order to the industrial user responsible for the discharge requiring that the industrial user come into compliance within a time specified in the order. The order may contain a fine. If the industrial user does not come into compliance within the time specified in the order, sewer or water service may be discontinued. Compliance orders may also contain other requirements to address the non-compliance, including management practices designed to eliminate the amount of pollutants discharged to the sewer. Issuance of a compliance order shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for taking any other action against the industrial user.
