(A) Notice of violation and compliance meeting. Should a violation of this chapter by an industrial user occur, whether or not a significant industrial user, the city shall notify the offending user, in writing, through a “notice of violation” as to the particulars of such violation or violations and set a time and place for a meeting (hereinafter called a “compliance meeting”) to be attended by representatives of the city and the industrial user. The purpose of such a meeting shall be to establish such procedures, investigations, studies, and compliance measures as the city deems necessary and desirable to control and prevent violation of this chapter. The industrial user shall cooperate fully with the city in making such investigations and studies.
