A.
A control authority/operator may suspend the wastewater treatment service and/or the wastewater discharge permit when such suspension is necessary, in the opinion of the control authority/operator, 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 or to the environment, causes interference to the POTW or causes 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 wastewater discharge permit shall immediately stop or eliminate the wastewater discharge to the POTW. In the event of a failure of the person to comply voluntarily with the suspension order, the control authority/operator shall take such steps as it deems necessary, including immediate severance of the sewer connection, to prevent or minimize damage to the POTW system or endangerment to any individuals. The control authority/operator shall reinstate the wastewater discharge permit upon proof of the elimination of the noncomplying discharge by the user and payment of any damages, fines, penalties or costs associated with the discharge. A detailed written statement submitted by the user describing the causes of the harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any further occurrence shall be submitted to the control authority/operator within 15 days of the date of occurrence.
