If a violation of EC 6.300 - 6.330, this rule, or a condition of a permit is occurring and the enforcement officer finds that failure to act promptly will seriously prejudice the public health, welfare, or environment, the enforcement officer may initiate abatement proceedings pursuant to EC Sections 6.005 to 6.115, and may, at the same time, issue a Notice of Civil Penalty, without issuing any prior orders or attempting to secure voluntary compliance or correction of the violation. 2. Notice to Correct. When the enforcement officer finds a violation of EC 6.300 - 6.330, this rule, or a condition of a permit is occurring, and the enforcement officer believes that the violation may be corrected and, when corrected, will prevent or fully remediate any harm from the violation, the enforcement officer may, in his or her discretion, issue a Notice to Correct to the responsible person. A Notice to Correct shall identify the condition constituting the violation and the time within which the correction is to be made. In addition to any other penalties that may be imposed for the original violation, a failure to comply with a Notice to Correct is a violation subject to the penalties provided in these rules. A Notice to Correct is not appealable. Administrative Order - 9 r: \adminord \rule \OOtreeremlao.wpd(01 /28/00)
