§ 15.60.400. Show-cause hearing before Metro wastewater hearing authority.
Latest version.
The director may issue a show-cause notice to any permit holder directing that he
appear before the hearing authority at a specified date and time to show cause why
the permit holder's wastewater discharge permit should not be modified, suspended
or revoked for causing or suffering violation of this title, or other applicable law
or regulation, or conditions in the wastewater discharge permit of the user. If the
director seeks to modify the wastewater discharge permit to establish wastewater strength
limitations or other control techniques to prevent future violations, he shall notify
the permit holder of the general nature of the recommendations he shall make to the
hearing authority. If the director seeks to suspend or revoke the wastewater discharge
permit, he shall notify the permit holder of the nature of the violation for which
revocation or suspension is sought with sufficient specificity as to the character
of the violation and the dates at which such violation occurred to enable the permit
holder to prepare his defense. Such notice shall be mailed to the permit holder by
certified mail, return receipt requested, or shall be personally delivered to the
permit holder at least twenty days prior to the scheduled hearing date.
