(a) Suspension Due to Illicit Discharges in Emergency Situations. The City of St. Clairsville may, without prior notice, suspend MS4 discharge access to a person when such suspension is necessary to stop an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present imminent and substantial danger to the environment, or to the health or welfare of persons, or to the MS4 or waters of the State. If the violator 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 MS4 or waters of the State, or to minimize danger to persons.
(b) Suspension Due to the Detection of Illicit Discharge. Any person discharging to the MS4 in violation of Sections 991.07 to 991.14 may have his/her MS4 access terminated if such tennination would abate or reduce an illicit discharge. The authorized enforcement agency will notify a violator of the proposed termination of its MS4 access. The violator may appeal the authorized enforcement agency's decision for a reconsideration and hearing as authorized by Sections 991.07 to 991.14.
(c) A person commits an offense if the person reinstates MS4 access to premises terminated pursuant to this Section, without the prior approval of the authorized enforcement agency. (Ord. 2013-17. Passed 8-19-13.)
