A. 
The Authority may suspend the wastewater treatment service and/or a permit when such suspension is necessary, in the opinion of the Authority, in order to stop an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons, to the environment, causes interference to the POTW, or may cause the POTW to violate any condition of its NPDES permit.
B. 
Any person notified of a suspension of the wastewater treatment service and/or the permit shall immediately cease wastewater discharge to the POTW. In the event of a failure of the person to comply voluntarily with the suspension order, the Authority shall take such steps as deemed necessary including immediate severance of the sewer connection, to prevent or minimize damage to the POTW system or possible endangerment to any individuals or the environment. The Authority may reinstate the permit and/or the wastewater treatment service upon proof, satisfactory to the Authority, of the elimination of the noncomplying discharge. A detailed written statement submitted by the user describing the causes of the harmful contribution and the measure taken to prevent any future occurrence shall be submitted to the Authority within 15 days of the date of occurrence.
When the Authority finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this Part 2, an individual wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any pretreatment standard or requirement, the Authority may serve upon that user a written notice of violation. Within 15 days of the receipt of such notice, an explanation of the violation and a plan for the satisfactory correction and prevention thereof, to include specific required actions, shall be submitted by the user to the Authority. Submission of such a plan in no way relieves the user of liability for any violations occurring before or after receipt of the notice of violation. Nothing in this section shall limit the powers of the Authority to take any action, including emergency actions or any other enforcement action, without first issuing a notice of violation.
If the Authority has been refused access to a building, structure, or property, or any part thereof, and is able to demonstrate probable cause to believe that there may be a violation of this Part 2, or that there is a need to inspect and/or sample as part of a routine inspection and sampling program of the Authority designed to verify compliance with this Part 2 or any permit or order issued hereunder, or to protect the overall public health, safety and welfare of the community, the Authority may seek issuance of a search warrant from the Court of Common Pleas in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
The Authority may enter into consent orders, assurances of compliance, or other similar documents establishing an agreement with any user responsible for noncompliance. Such documents shall include specific action to be taken by the user to correct the noncompliance within a time period specified by the document. Such documents shall have the same force and effect as the administrative orders issued pursuant to §§ 127-76.2 and 127-76.3 of this Part 2 and shall be judicially enforceable.
The Authority may order a user which has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this Part 2, an individual wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any pretreatment standard or requirement, to appear before the Authority and show cause why the proposed enforcement action should not be taken. Notice shall be served on the user specifying the time and place for the meeting, the proposed enforcement action, the reasons for such action, and a request that the user show cause why the proposed enforcement should not be taken. The notice of the meeting shall be served personally or by registered or certified mail at least 15 days prior to the hearing. Such notice may be served on any authorized representative of the user as defined in § 127-50 and required by § 127-67E. A show-cause hearing shall not be a bar against, or prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user.
When the Authority finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this Part 2, an individual wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the Authority may issue an order to the user responsible for the discharge directing that the user come into compliance within a specific time. If the user does not come into compliance within the time provided, sewer service may be discontinued unless adequate treatment facilities, devices, or other related appurtenances are installed and properly operated. Compliance orders also may contain other requirements to address the noncompliance, including additional self-monitoring and management practices designed to minimize the amount of pollutants discharged to the sewer. A compliance order may not extend the deadline for compliance established for a pretreatment standard or requirement, nor does a compliance order relieve the user of liability for any violation, including any continuing violation. Issuance of a compliance order shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user.
When the Authority finds that a user has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this Part 2, an individual wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any pretreatment standard or requirement, or that the user's past violations are likely to recur, the Authority may issue an order to the user directing it to cease and desist all such violations and directing the user to:
A. 
Immediately comply with all requirements; and
B. 
Take such appropriate remedial or preventative action as may be needed to properly address a continuing or threatened violation, including halting operations and/or terminating the discharge. Issuance of a cease and desist order shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user.
A. 
In addition to the provisions in § 127-66H of this Part 2, any user who violates the following conditions is subject to discharge termination:
(1) 
Violation of individual wastewater discharge permit conditions;
(2) 
Failure to accurately report the wastewater constituents and characteristics of its discharge;
(3) 
Failure to report significant changes in operations or wastewater volume, constituents, and characteristics prior to discharge;
(4) 
Refusal of reasonable access to the user's premises for the purpose of inspection, monitoring, or sampling; or
(5) 
Violation of the pretreatment standards in Article X of this Part 2.
B. 
Such user will be notified of the proposed termination of its discharge and be offered an opportunity to show cause under § 127-76.1 of this Part 2 why the proposed action should not be taken. Exercise of this option by the Authority shall not be a bar to, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the user.
