(A) The Director may, by written notice, require persons responsible for an illicit discharge to immediately, or by a specified date, discontinue the discharge and, if necessary, to take measures to eliminate the source of the illicit discharge. If the discharge is not discontinued in the time specified, the Director may take any lawful measures to eliminate the source of the illicit discharge and to prevent the occurrence of future illicit discharges.
(B) Whenever the Director finds that an illicit discharge of pollutants is taking place or has occurred which may result in, or has resulted in, pollution of the storm drain system, the Director may require the responsible person to cease polluting, and to restore the affected property to its pre-pollution condition within a specified time, in addition to other remedies available to the city.
(C) The Director may, by written notice, require a person responsible for an illicit connection to the storm drain system to disconnect or to secure approval for the connection, regardless of whether or not the connection or discharges to it had been established or approved prior to the effective date of this chapter. If, after disconnection, the responsible person can demonstrate that an illicit discharge will no longer occur, said person may request approval to reconnect. The reconnection or reinstallation of the connection shall be at the city's discretion and shall be subject to such conditions as the Director may determine; such reconnection or reinstallation shall be at the responsible person's sole expense.
