§ 18-121. Violations.

(a)

Significant industrial users shall notify the director in writing of any violation of the permit or of this article within 24 hours after becoming aware of the violation. Within ten business days after the date of the violation, the significant industrial user shall also submit to the director a detailed written statement describing what caused the violation and the measures that the industrial user is taking to prevent future violations. Significant industrial users shall correct all violations promptly and shall take any reasonable action to prevent damage to Chesterfield County's sewerage system or the public from the violation. The significant industrial user shall also repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to the director within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation. Resampling by the significant industrial user is not required if Chesterfield County performs sampling at the user's facility at least once a month, or if the county samples at the user between the time when the initial sample was conducted and the time when the user or the county receives the results of this sampling, or if the county has performed the sampling and analysis in lieu of the user. The director may require a significant industrial user to correct a violation by taking measures to prevent the discharge of prohibited materials or other wastes that are regulated by this article.

(b)

The director shall annually publish a list of significant industrial users who have been in significant noncompliance during the previous 12 months in a publication and/or newspaper of general circulation in the county.
