Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of this
chapter, whenever the Town Board finds, after investigation, that
any user is causing, engaging in, or maintaining a condition or activity
which, in the judgment of the Town Board, presents an imminent danger
to the public health, safety, or welfare, or to the environment, or
is likely to result in severe damage to the POTW treatment plant or
the environment, and it therefore appears to be prejudicial to the
public interest to allow the condition or activity to go unabated
until notice and an opportunity for a hearing can be provided, the
Town Board may, without prior hearing, order such user by notice,
in writing wherever practicable or in such other form as practices
are intended to be proscribed, to discontinue, abate, or alleviate
such condition or activity, and thereupon such person shall immediately
discontinue, abate or alleviate such condition or activity; or where
the giving of notice is impracticable, or in the event of a user's
failure to comply voluntarily with an emergency order, the Town Board
may take all appropriate action to abate the violating condition.
As promptly as possible thereafter, not to exceed 15 calendar days,
the Town Board shall provide the user an opportunity to be heard.
In accordance with the provisions of this article.
