13.16.230 Enforcement.
A. When the City Manager finds that an industrial user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this chapter, rules adopted hereunder, a wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the City Manager may:
1. Take enforcement actions, as set out in the industrial pretreatment enforcement response plan, adopted under the authority of WVMC 13.16.250;
2. Issue compliance orders;
3. Cause a petition to be filed in the appropriate state or federal court for the issuance of a temporary or permanent injunction, as appropriate, which restrains or compels the specific performance of the wastewater discharge permit, order, or other requirement imposed by this chapter or any rule adopted hereunder on activities of the user. The City Manager may also seek other action as is appropriate for legal and/or equitable relief, including a requirement for the user to conduct environmental remediation. A petition for injunctive relief shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against a user;
4. Cause an appropriate action to be instituted in a court of competent jurisdiction;
5. Suspend or revoke a permit in accordance with WVMC 13.16.190 and 13.16.200; or
6. Take other action the City Manager deems appropriate.
B. Annual Publication. A list of all industrial users that were in significant noncompliance of applicable pretreatment standards or pretreatment requirements during the twelve (12) previous months shall be annually published by the City Manager in a newspaper of general circulation that provides meaningful public notice within the jurisdiction(s) served by the City Manager.
C. Reports. If any industrial user fails, upon demand by the City Manager, to supply up-to-date, accurate and complete self-monitoring reports and records as required in WVMC 13.16.140, the City Manager, at their discretion, may consider the industrial user’s monthly discharge to be the industrial user’s water consumption.
