[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
When the Township finds that a user has violated (or continues
to violate) any provision of this Part, a wastewater discharge permit,
or order issued hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement,
the Township may petition the Berks County Court through the Township's
Attorney 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 requirements imposed
by this Part on activities of the user. The Township may also seek
such 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.
[Ord. No. 227, 9/5/2006]
The remedies provided for in this Part are not exclusive. The
Township may take any, all, or any combination of these actions against
a noncompliant user. Enforcement of pretreatment violations will generally
be in accordance with this Part unless the Township chooses to develop
and adopt an enforcement response plan. However, the Township may
take other action against any user when the circumstances warrant.
Further, the Township is empowered to take more than one enforcement
action against any noncompliant user. These actions may be taken concurrently.
