13.10.370 Cease and desist orders.
A. The director may issue a cease and desist order upon finding a user has or is violating this chapter. The decision to issue a cease and desist order shall consider the likelihood that a user’s violations in conjunction with other discharges could cause a threat to the POTW, POTW workers, or the public, or cause pass through, interference, or a violation of the POTW’s NPDES permit. The order issued by the director will direct the user to cease and desist all such violations and to:
1. Immediately cease such actions or discharges as described;
2. Comply with all applicable pretreatment standards and requirements;
3. Take such appropriate remedial or preventive action as may be needed to properly address a continuing or threatened violation, including halting operations and/or terminating the discharge.
B. Issuance of a cease and desist order shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user. (Ord. 016/2021 § 2; Ord. 011/2004)
