(a) After written notification is mailed, personally delivered or posted, the Director may require any person responsible for an illicit discharge to immediately, or by a specified date, eliminate or discontinue the illicit discharge, and the Director, if necessary as the result of an imminent or pending storm event, may take immediate measures to eliminate the source of the illicit discharge. If the discharge is not discontinued in the time specified, the Director may take any enforcement measure described in this chapter and steps reasonably necessary to eliminate the source of the illicit discharge or to prevent the reoccurrence of future illicit discharges.
(b) After written notification is mailed, personally delivered or posted, the Director may require a person in control of or responsible for an illicit connection to the storm drain system to secure approval for the connection by a specified date, 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, subsequent to eliminating a connection found to be in violation of this chapter, the 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 director's discretion and shall be subject to such conditions as the Director may determine; such reconnection or reinstallation shall be at the requesting person’s sole expense.
