In addition to the other enforcement powers and remedies established by this chapter, the authorized enforcement officer has the authority to utilize the following administrative remedies.
(A) Cease and desist orders. When the authorized enforcement officer finds that a discharge has taken place or is likely to take place in violation of this chapter, the officer may issue an order to cease and desist such discharge, or practice, or operation likely to cause such discharge and direct that those persons not complying shall:
(1) Comply with the requirement;
(2) Comply with a time schedule for compliance; and/or
(3) Take appropriate remedial or preventive action to prevent the violation from recurring.
(B) Notice to clean. Whenever the authorized enforcement officer finds any oil, earth, dirt, grass, weeds, dead trees, tin cans, rubbish, refuse, waste or any other material of any kind, in or upon the sidewalk abutting or adjoining any parcel of land, or upon any parcel of land or grounds, which may result in an increase in pollutants entering the city surface water drain system or a non-surface water discharge to the city surface water drain system, he or she may give notice to remove such oil, earth, dirt, grass, weeds, dead trees, tin cans, rubbish, refuse, waste or other material in any manner that he or she may reasonably provide. The authorized enforcement officer shall specify in the notice the time allotted for compliance and the recipient of such notice shall undertake the activities necessary to abate such condition within the period of time specified. In the event the owner or operator of a facility fails to conduct the required activities as described in the notice, the authorized enforcement officer may cause such activities required as described in the notice and the cost thereof shall be invoiced to the owner of the property.
