A. Whenever the director finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this chapter, or order issued hereunder, the director may issue a compliance order to the user responsible for the violation. The order shall specify that wastewater services, including collection and treatment, shall be discontinued and/or applicable penalties imposed unless, within a specified time period, corrective action has been taken in conformance with governing statutes and regulations which is reasonably calculated to remedy the violation.

B. Compliance orders may also contain such other requirements as might be reasonably necessary and appropriate to address the violation or noncompliance, including, but not limited to, the adoption of additional management practices designed to minimize the amount of pollutants discharged to the POTW. A compliance order may not extend the deadline for compliance beyond any applicable state or federal deadlines, nor does a compliance order release the user from liability from any past, present, or continuing violation(s). Issuance of a compliance order shall not be a prerequisite to taking any other action against the user.

C. Failure to comply with any terms or requirements of a compliance order by a user shall be an additional and independent basis for termination of wastewater services, including collection and treatment, or any other enforcement action authorized under this chapter and deemed appropriate by the director. With respect to DOC facilities, service may be reinstated upon cessation of the industrial service or use which reasonably appears to have caused a violation or history of SNC.
