Sec. 42-416. - Emergency abatement authorities. (a) If an environmental emergency exists, the town may do one or more of the following: (1) Issue a notice directing the owner, occupant, or operator, person in control or responsible party to immediately take such action as is necessary to correct or abate the environmental emergency; or (2) Act to correct or abate the environmental emergency itself, whether or not the town is able to contact the owner, occupant, or person in control prior to taking such action. (b) The owner, occupant, or person in control may appeal, after the fact, an order to abate an environmental emergency to the town council. Upon notice and a request by the person receiving such notice, a hearing before the town council shall be scheduled as soon as practicable. Such appeal shall in no case stay the abatement or correction of the environmental emergency. (c) Nothing in this section requires the town to give an owner, occupant, operator, person in control or responsible party notice prior to the town taking any action, including issuing an abatement order or taking any other action to abate an environmental emergency as provided in subsection (a) above.
