When the Director of Wastewater or his/her designee finds that
a user has violated or continues to violate any provision of this
chapter, an individual wastewater discharge permit, or order issued
hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the
Director of Wastewater or his/her designee, may petition the Maine
District Court or the York County Superior Court for the issuance
of a temporary or permanent injunction, as appropriate, which restrains
or compels the specific performance of the individual wastewater discharge
permit, order, or other requirement imposed by this chapter on activities
of the user. The Director of Wastewater or his/her designee may also
seek such other action as is appropriate for legal and/or equitable
relief, including fines, penalties, administrative costs and attorneys'
fees pursuant to 30-A M.R.S.A. § 4452, and a requirement
that the user conduct environmental remediation or pay the City's
remediation costs. A petition for injunctive relief shall not be a
bar against or a prerequisite for taking any other action against
a user.
The remedies provided for in this chapter are not exclusive.
The Director of Wastewater or his/her designee may take any, all or
any combination of these actions against a noncompliant user. Enforcement
of pretreatment violations will generally be in accordance with the
City's enforcement response plan. However, the Director of Wastewater
or his/her designee may take other action against any user when the
circumstances warrant. Further, the Director of Wastewater or his/her
designee, is empowered to take more than one enforcement action against
any noncompliant user.
