Whenever an unauthorized release occurs at an establishment, the Department may inspect the establishment to determine whether continued hazardous materials handling at such establishment is suitable or whether the establishment should be subject to enforcement action. In making such a determination, the Director of Health shall consider the age of the establishment, the methods of containment, the concentration of the hazardous materials contained, the severity of a potential unauthorized release, and the suitability of other long-term preventive measures that meet the objectives of this Article. Enforcement action may be taken by the Director of Health as set forth in this Article.
