10.5 Cease And Desist Orders
I
j
When the Superintendent finds that a user is violating this
ordinance, the user's wastewater discharge permit, any other issued
hereunder, or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, or
that the user's past violations are likely to recur, the
Superintendent may issue an order to the user directing it to cease
and desist all such violations and directing the user to:
A.
Immediately comply with all requirements.
Take such appropriate remedial or preventive action
as may be needed to properly address a continuing or
threatened Violation, including halting operations
and/or terminating the discharge.

to taking any other action against the user.
10.6 EmergS}ncy Suspensions

(after notice and opportunity to respond) that threatens to interfere
with the operation of the POTW, or which presents or may present an
endangerment to the environment

immediately stop or eliminate its contribution. In the
event of a user's failure to immediately comply

including immediate severance of the sewer connection
to prevent or minimize damage to the POTW, its
receiving stream, or endangerment to any individuals.

its discharge when the
has demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the City
Cabot that the period of
endangerment has passed, unless the termination
