§ 500.530. Stop Work Order Authorized.

A. 

In addition to the enforcement provisions of this regulation, the Director may issue a stop work order if the Director determines that work authorized by a LD permit is in violation of this regulation or the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan or if any one (1) or more of the following conditions exist:

1. 

Inspection by the Director reveals the site defined by the LD permit is not in substantial compliance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan as determined by the Director; or

2. 

Failure to comply with a written order from the Director to bring the site into compliance with the LD permit, correct a violation of this regulation or restore a disturbed area within the time limits defined by the Director; or

3. 

Failure to pay any required fee; or

4. 

Failure to submit reports in accordance with the design manual.

B. 

If a stop work order is issued by the Director, the Director shall order and direct the site owner or the site owner's agent and any party in possession of the site, including the contractor performing work at the site, to immediately suspend work.

C. 

A stop work order shall be in writing, shall state the conditions under which the work may be resumed and may be served upon a person to whom it is directed by any reasonable method including by personal delivery, by posting at the site or mailing a copy of the same to the address identified within the LD permit application for the LD permit holder, site owner or any party in possession of such property. If the Director issues a stop work order, all persons shall cease all work on the site, except work necessary to remedy the cause of the stop work order as expressly authorized by the Director.

D. 

It shall be a violation of this regulation for a person to undertake, allow, consent or permit another to undertake work upon a site subject to a stop work order.

E. 

If the cause of a stop work order is not cured within a reasonable period, the LD permit may be revoked by the Director and thereafter no person shall continue any work described in the LD permit without first obtaining a new LD permit and paying a new LD permit fee as required by this regulation.
