DEHS may summarily suspend any DEHS permit when DEHS finds or reasonably suspects continued operation of the facility or activity may constitute an immediate public health hazard. Additionally, whenever DEHS authorized representatives are denied access or entry to any part of the activity or facility under DEHS jurisdiction or permit, interfered with, prevented, restricted, obstructed, or otherwise unreasonably hindered in the performance of their duties, DEHS may summarily suspend the applicable DEHS permits to operate. Any person continuing to operate any activity or facility after suspension of any DEHS permit to operate, shall be guilty of an infraction offense for each day or portion thereof such violation exists. The penalty upon conviction thereof shall be a fine of at least $25.00, but not exceeding $100.00 for a first violation, a fine not exceeding $200.00 for the second conviction within one year, and a fine not exceeding $500.00 for the third conviction within one year.
