(a) No person shall violate or cause or knowingly permit to be violated any of the provisions of this regulation, or fail to comply with any of such provisions or with any lawful requirements of any public authority made pursuant to this regulation, or knowingly use or cause or permit the use of any lands in violation of this regulation or in violation of any permit granted under this regulation.
(b) If it appears that a violation of any of the provisions of this Chapter has occurred, the applicant and property owner will be notified by the City's authorized reviewing agent of deficiencies or noncompliance via email with three (3) working days to correct the deficiencies or noncompliance. If the issue remains unresolved after that time, the applicant and property owner will be notified by the City's authorized reviewing agent in the form of a Notice of Violation (NOV), return receipt requested. If within three (3) working days after receipt of the NOV the applicant or property owner have failed to provide a reasonable plan for resolving the issue, or in the alternative to provide a basis for a position that there is no violation, the applicant and property owner may be considered in violation of these provisions.
(c) Where there is a violation of these provisions, the City may take all reasonable actions necessary to enforce its code and to correct any violations, including but not limited to seeking an injunction or other appropriate relief to abate excessive erosion or sedimentation and secure compliance with the provisions of this Chapter. In granting relief, a court may order the construction of sediment control improvements or implementation of other control measures.
