When the Pretreatment Coordinator 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 Pretreatment Coordinator may serve upon that user a written notice of violation. Within 10 days of the receipt of such notice, the user shall submit a written explanation of the violation and a plan for the satisfactory correction and prevention thereof, including its plan for implementing specific required actions.
