The enforcement provisions specified in this section apply to all classes of users to the extent such user violates any provision of this title or administrative order of the City Engineer or the Director of Utilities pursuant to this title. In order to achieve the maximum degree of compliance desired, the City may use a variety of enforcement mechanisms. The enforcement mechanisms may range from informal administrative action to a request for criminal prosecution. The City may, at its discretion, implement the use of any mechanism or the concurrent use of several mechanisms in order to enforce the provisions of this title. The enforcement mechanisms provided herein may be cumulative in respect to such other enforcement mechanisms or civil and criminal penalties as may be otherwise available under the laws of the State of California and the United States of America. Nothing in this title is intended to prevent the State and/or Federal regulatory agencies from undertaking enforcement actions as may otherwise be available due to a violation of this chapter which also constitutes a violation of Federal or State statutes and regulations, such as (1) the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.); (2) California Porter-Cologne Water Quality Act (California Water Code Section 13000 et seq.); (3) California Hazardous Waste Control Law (California Health and Safety Code Sections 25100 through 25250); (4) RCRA (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.); and (5) California Government Code Sections 54739 through 54740.6. The referenced State and Federal laws, along with other pertinent laws, provide authority for the City’s enforcement mechanisms.
