(a) Notice of Violation. When the Village finds that a person has violated a prohibition or failed to meet a requirement of this regulation, the Village may order compliance by written Notice of Violation. Such notice must specify the violation and shall be hand delivered, and/or sent by registered mail, to the owner/operator of the facility. Such notice may require the following actions:
(1) The performance of monitoring, analyses, and reporting;
(2) The elimination of illicit discharges or illegal connections;
(3) That violating discharges, practices, or operations cease and desist;
(4) The abatement or remediation of storm water pollution or contamination hazards and the restoration of any affected property; or
(5) The implementation of source control or treatment BMPs.
(b) If abatement of a violation and/or restoration of affected property is required, the Notice of Violation shall set forth a deadline within which such remediation or restoration must be completed. Said Notice shall further advise that, should the facility owner/operator fail to remediate or restore within the established deadline, a legal action for enforcement may be initiated.
(c) Any person receiving a Notice of Violation must meet compliance standards within the time established in the Notice of Violation.
(d) Administrative Hearing: If the violation has not been corrected pursuant to the requirements set forth in the Notice of Violation, the Village shall schedule a hearing before the Village Board of Zoning Appeals to determine reasons for non-compliance and to determine the next enforcement activity. Notice of the administrative hearing shall be hand delivered and/or sent registered mail.
(e) Injunctive Relief: It shall be unlawful for any owner/operator to violate any provision or fail to comply with any of the requirements of this regulation pursuant to Ohio R.C. 3709.211. If a owner/operator has violated or continues to violate the provisions of this regulation, the Village may petition for a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the owner/operator from activities that would create further violations or compelling the owner/operator to perform abatement or remediation of the violation.
