When the Superintendent, or his/her designee, finds that a user
has violated, or continues to violate, any provision of this chapter,
a wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other
pretreatment standard or requirement, the Superintendent, or his/her
designee, may petition the Circuit Court of McHenry County through
the City'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 requirement imposed
by this chapter on activities of the user. The Superintendent, or
his/her designee, 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.
The remedies provided for in this chapter are not exclusive.
The Superintendent, 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 Superintendent, or
his/her designee, may take other action against any user when the
circumstances warrant. Further, the Superintendent, or his/her designee,
is empowered to take more than one enforcement action against any
noncompliant user.
