(A) Suspension due to illicit discharges in emergency situations. The authorized enforcement agency may, without prior notice, suspend access to the storm water drainage system to any person or premises when such suspension is necessary to stop an actual or threatened discharge that presents or may present imminent and substantial danger to the environment, or to the health or welfare of persons, or to the storm water drainage system or a waterbody. If the person fails to comply with a suspension order issued in an emergency, the authorized enforcement agency may take such steps as deemed necessary to prevent or minimize damage to the storm water drainage system or the environment, or to minimize danger to persons, and bill the person for the costs to the township in taking such steps.
(B) Suspension due to the detection of illicit discharge. Any person discharging to the storm water drainage system in violation of this chapter may have their access to the system terminated, if the authorized enforcement agency determines that such termination would abate or reduce an illicit discharge. The authorized enforcement agency will notify a violator of the proposed termination of its access. It shall be unlawful for any person to reinstate access of the storm water drainage system to a premises terminated pursuant to this section without the prior written approval of the authorized enforcement agency.
