Tulsa Revised Ordinances tit. 11-C, § 1210

in effect

Section 1210. - Judicial enforcement remedies. A. Injunctive Relief. When the Director finds that a User has violated or continues to violate any provision of this chapter, a wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other Pretreatment Standard or requirement, the Director may petition the District Court for the issuance of a temporary or permanent injunction, as appropriate, which restrains or compels the specific performance of the wastewater discharge permit, order, or other requirement imposed by this chapter on activities of the User. The Director may also seek such other action as is appropriate for legal and/or equitable relief, including a requirement for the User to conduct environmental remediation. A petition for injunctive relief shall not be a bar against or a prerequisite for taking any other action against a User. B. Criminal Prosecution. 1. A User who willfully or negligently violates any provision of this chapter, a wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or any other Pretreatment standard or requirement shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine and/or imprisonment in the manner set forth in Title 11-C, Subsection 1100.A of Tulsa's Revised Ordinances. 2. A User who willfully or negligently introduces any substance into the POTW which causes personal injury or property damage shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor and be subject to a penalty of up to the maximum set forth in Title 11-C, Subsection 1100.A of Tulsa's Revised Ordinances. This penalty shall be in addition to any other causes of action for personal injury or property damage available under state law. 3. A User who knowingly makes any false statements, representations, or certifications in any application, record, report, plan, or other documentation filed, or required to be maintained, pursuant to this chapter, wastewater discharge permit, or order issued hereunder, or who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders inaccurate any monitoring device or method required under this chapter shall, upon conviction, be subject to fine and/or imprisonment in the manner set forth in Title 11-C, Subsection 1100.A of Tulsa's Revised Ordinances. C. Remedies Nonexclusive. The remedies provided for in this chapter are not exclusive. The Director may take any, all, or any combination of these actions against a non-compliant User. Enforcement of Pretreatment provisions will be generally in accordance with the City's enforcement response plan. However, the Director may take other action against any User when the circumstances warrant. Further, the Director is empowered to take more than one (1) enforcement action against any noncompliant User. (Ord. Nos. 17419, 19991; Ord. No. 22851, § 1, 3-28-2013)
