(A) The attached Town of Liberty Enforcement Chart further outlines types of violations and specifies POTW actions (initial and escalated), time frames and the officials responsible for completing the actions. This chart shall be considered a part of the Enforcement Response Plan.
(B) Responses to violations affecting the operation of the POTW, resulting in POTW NPDES violations, or resulting in environmental harm or endangerment to human health will be taken immediately or as soon as possible following discovery.
(C) A user may be sent a notice of violation (NOV) or notice of noncompliance (NNC) for each individual violation. Alternatively, the violations may be summarized over a period of time not to exceed 6 months. In general, NOVs in response to violations of permit limits will be taken within 30 days of discovery of the violations. Users found to be in SNC for 2 consecutive 6-month periods will be issued an enforceable order to return to compliance. In all cases, escalated or continuing enforcement action will be taken against users who do not return to compliance in a timely manner.
(D) Cases of falsifying reports, tampering with monitoring or sampling equipment or otherwise preventing the collection of representative data may be referred to the District Attorney for possible criminal investigation.
(E) Show cause hearings may be held at the Director's discretion prior to taking enforcement actions.
