(a) Whenever the City finds that any discharger has engaged in conduct which justifies termination of wastewater treatment service, pursuant to Section 922.11
, the City shall serve or cause to be served upon such discharger, a written notice either personally or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, stating the nature of the alleged violation. Within ten days of the date of receipt of the notice, the discharger shall respond in writing to the City, advising of its position with respect to the allegations. Thereafter, the parties shall meet to ascertain the veracity of the allegations and, where necessary, establish a plan for the satisfactory correction thereof.
(b) When the Superintendent finds that a User has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this section, an individual wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other Pretreatment Standard or Requirement, the Superintendent may issue orders to the User responsible for the discharge directing that the User come into compliance within a specified time. The orders may include a schedule of compliance, a requirement to install additional treatment, fines, or a combination of these. The orders also may contain other requirements to address the noncompliance, including additional self-monitoring and management practices designed to minimize the amount of pollutants discharged to the sewer. Administrative orders may not extend the deadline for compliance established for a Pretreatment Standard or Requirement, nor may an administrative order relieve the User of liability for any violation, including any continuing violation.
