A. 
Whenever the Director of Public Works finds that a person has violated a prohibition or failed to meet a requirement of this chapter, the Director may order compliance by written notice of violation to the responsible person. Such notice may require, without limitation:
(1) 
The performance of monitoring, analyses, and reporting;
(2) 
The elimination of illicit connections or discharges;
(3) 
That violating discharges, practices, or operations shall cease and desist;
(4) 
The abatement or remediation of stormwater pollution or contamination hazards and the restoration of any affected property;
(5) 
Payment of a fine to cover administrative and remediation costs; and
(6) 
The implementation of source control or treatment best management practices.
B. 
If abatement of a violation and/or restoration of affected property is required, the notice shall set forth a deadline within which such remediation or restoration must be completed. Said notice shall further advise that, should the violator fail to remediate or restore within the established deadline, the work will be done by the Town or a contractor designated by the Director of Public Works and the expense thereof shall be charged to the violator pursuant to § 307-23 below.
Notwithstanding the provisions of § 307-25 below, any person receiving a notice of violation under § 307-21 above may appeal the determination of the Director of Public Works to the First Selectman. The notice of appeal must be received by the First Selectman within five days from the date of the notice of violation. Hearing on the appeal before the First Selectman or his/her designee shall take place within 15 days from the date of the Town's receipt of the notice of appeal. The decision of the First Selectman or designee shall be final.
If the violation has not been corrected pursuant to the requirements set forth in the notice of violation or, in the event of an appeal under § 307-22, within 10 days of the decision of the First Selectman upholding the decision of the Director of Public Works, then the Town or a contractor designated by the Director of Public Works shall enter upon the subject private property and is authorized to take any and all measures necessary to abate the violation and/or restore the property. It shall be unlawful for any person, owner, agent, or person in possession of any premises to refuse to allow the Town or designated contractor to enter upon the premises for the purposes set forth above.
A. 
Within 30 days after abatement of the nuisance by Town, the Director of Public Works shall notify the property owner of the property of the cost of abatement, including administrative costs. The property owner may file a written protest objecting to the amount of the assessment with the Town Clerk within 15 days. The Town Clerk shall set the matter for public hearing by the Board of Selectmen. The decision of the Board of Selectmen shall be set forth by resolution and shall be final.
B. 
If the amount due is not paid within 10 days of the decision of the Board of Selectmen or the expiration of the time in which to file an appeal under this section, the charges shall become a special assessment against the property and shall constitute a lien on the property for the amount of assessment. A copy of the resolution shall be turned over to the Town's assessor so the assessor may enter the amounts of the assessment against the parcel as it appears on the current assessment roll, and the Tax Collector shall include the amount of the assessment on the bill for taxes levied against the parcel of land.
The Director of Public Works is authorized to require immediate abatement of any violation of this chapter that constitutes an immediate threat to the health, safety or well-being of the public. If any such violation is not abated immediately as directed by the Director of Public Works, the Town is authorized to enter onto private property and to take any and all measures required to remediate the violation. Any expense related to such remediation undertaken by the Town shall be fully reimbursed by the property owner and/or responsible party. Any relief obtained under this section shall not prevent the Town from seeking other and further relief authorized under this chapter.
It shall be lawful for any person to violate any provision or fail to comply with any of the requirements of this chapter. A violation of or failure to comply with any of the requirements of this chapter shall constitute a misdemeanor and shall be punished as set forth in the Connecticut State Statutes.
In lieu of enforcement proceedings, penalties, and remedies authorized by this chapter, the Director of Public Works may impose upon the violator alternative compensatory actions, such as storm drain stenciling, attendance at compliance workshops, creek cleanup, etc.
In addition to the enforcement processes and penalties hereinbefore provided, any condition caused or permitted to exist in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter is a threat to public health, safety, and welfare, and is declared and deemed a nuisance, and may be summarily abated or restored by the Town at the violator's expense, and/or a civil action to abate, enjoin, or otherwise compel the cessation of such nuisance may be taken by the Town.
Any person who violates any provision of this chapter, or any provision of any requirement issued pursuant to this chapter, may also be in violation of the Clean Water Act and may be subject to the sanctions of those acts, including civil and criminal penalties. Any enforcement action authorized under this chapter shall also include written notice to the violator of such potential liability.
