It is unlawful for any person to violate or fail to comply with any of the requirements of this chapter. If a person has violated or continues to violate the provisions of this chapter, the City Engineer may petition a court for a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the person from violation of the provisions of this chapter, or compelling the person to perform abatement or remediation of any such violations.
In lieu of enforcement proceedings, penalties, and remedies authorized by this chapter, the City Engineer may impose upon a violator alternative compensatory actions. These actions may include, but are not limited to, storm drain labeling, attendance at storm water pollution prevention compliance workshops, the cleanup of local waterways or creeks, or any other activity as determined appropriate by the City Engineer. The failure of any person to complete any compensatory actions imposed by the City Engineer shall be a violation of this chapter.
In addition to the enforcement processes and penalties provided, any condition caused or permitted to exist in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter shall be considered a threat to public health, safety, and welfare, and is hereby declared and deemed a nuisance. Any such nuisance may be summarily abated or restored at the violator's expense, or a civil action to abate, enjoin, or otherwise compel the cessation of such nuisance may be undertaken as authorized by law.
