§ 9.6.15. Failure to Maintain

If a responsible person fails or refuses to meet the requirements of the inspection and maintenance agreement, the Department, after 30 days' written notice (except that in the event the violation constitutes an immediate danger to public health or public safety, 24 hours' notice is sufficient), may correct a violation of the design standards or maintenance requirements by performing the necessary work to place the facility or practice in proper working condition. The Department may assess the owners of the facility for the cost of repair work that is a lien on the property, and may be placed on the ad valorem tax bill for such property and collected in the ordinary manner for such taxes.
