When the director finds a violation or continuing violation, he may issue an order to the responsible party directing that the responsible party come into compliance within thirty (30) days, or such shorter period as the director may determine. If the responsible party does not come into compliance within the time specified, the director may take any remedial action authorized by this chapter. The issuance of an order pursuant to this section shall not be a prerequisite to emergency remedial action deemed necessary by the director. Compliance orders may also contain other requirements to address noncompliance, including additional self-monitoring, and BMPs designed to minimize the amount of pollutants discharged to the stormwater sewer system. A compliance order may not extend a federal standard or requirement, nor does a compliance order release the responsible party from state or federal liability for any violation, including any continuing violation. Issuance of a compliance order shall not be a prerequisite to taking any other action against the responsible party. (Ord. 53-07 § 19, 2007)
