(A) Notification of violation. If the Board finds that any discharger has engaged in conduct which justifies suspension of service, the Board shall serve the discharger with a written notice, either personally or by certified or registered U.S. mail, stating the nature of the alleged violation. Within ten days following receipt of the notice, the discharger shall respond personally or in writing to the Board, advising of its position concerning the allegations. Thereafter, the parties shall meet to determine the seriousness of the allegations and, if necessary, establish a plan for the satisfactory correction of any violations.
(B) Show cause hearing. If a violation of this chapter or of applicable storm water management regulations occurs and is not corrected by timely compliance, the Board may order any discharger to show cause before them and state why the proposed suspension of service should not be taken. A written notice shall be served on the discharger by personal service, or by certified or registered U.S. mail, specifying the time and place of a hearing to be held by the Board. The hearing shall consider the violation, the proposed enforcement action, the reasons why the enforcement action should be taken, and directing the discharger to show cause before the Board as to why the proposed enforcement action should not be taken. The notice of the hearing shall be served no less than ten days before the hearing. Service may be made on any agent, officer, or authorized representative of a discharger. The proceedings at the hearing shall be considered by the Board and appropriate orders with respect to the alleged improper activities of the discharger shall be issued.
(C) Violation by government entities. If a violation of this chapter or of applicable storm water management regulations occurs by other government entities, the Board shall serve the government entity with a written notice, either personally or by certified or registered U.S. mail, stating the nature of the alleged violation and shall direct the government entity to correct the violation.
