SECTION 9 - ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT REMEDIES <br /> 9.1 Notification of Violation (Notice of Violation, NOV) <br /> When the Director finds that a user has violated(or continues to violate) any provision of <br /> this ordinance, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other <br /> pretreatment standard or requirement, the Director may serve upon that user a written <br /> Notice of Violation. The Director may select any means of service which is reasonable <br /> under the circumstances. <br /> Within seven calendar (7) days of the receipt of this notice, an explanation of the <br /> violation and a plan for the satisfactory correction and prevention thereof, to include <br /> specific required actions, shall be submitted by the user to the Director. Submission of <br /> this plan in no way relieves the user of liability for any violations occurring before or after <br /> receipt of the Notice of Violation. Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the <br /> City to take any action, including emergency actions or any other enforcement action, <br /> without first issuing a Notice of Violation. <br /> 9.2 Consent Orders <br /> The Director may enter into Consent Orders, assurances of voluntary compliance, or other <br /> similar documents establishing an agreement with any user responsible for non- <br /> compliance. Such documents will include specific action to be taken by the user to <br /> correct the non-compliance within a time period specified by the document. Such <br /> documents shall have the same force and effect as the administrative orders issued <br /> pursuant to Sections 9.4 and 9.5 of this ordinance and shall be judicially enforceable. Use <br /> of a Consent Order shall not be a bar against, or prerequisite for, taking any other action <br /> against the user. <br /> 9.3 Show Cause Hearing <br /> The Director may order a user which has violated or continues to violate, any provision of <br /> this ordinance, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued hereunder, or any other <br /> pretreatment standard or requirement, to appear before the Director and show cause why a <br /> proposed enforcement action should not be taken. Notice shall be served on the user <br /> specifying the time and place for the hearing, the proposed enforcement action, the <br /> reasons for such action, and a request that the user show cause why the proposed <br /> enforcement action should not be taken. The notice of the hearing shall be served <br /> personally or by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) at least ten business <br /> (10) days prior to the hearing. Such notice may be served on any authorized <br /> . ; <br /> 48 <br />
