Unless the director finds that an immediate suspension under Section 11.84.050 is necessary to protect the public health or safety from imminent danger, the director shall issue a notice of noncompliance:
A. For failure to comply with the provisions of this division or any conditions or limitations of the permit; or
B. Before instituting administrative action pursuant to Section 11.84.010. Such notice shall be sent by first class mail to permittee. If the noncompliance is not abated, corrected, or rectified within the time specified in the notice, administrative action may be taken. (Ord. 97-0016 § 69, 1997: Ord. 83-0208 § 1 (part), 1983: Ord. 83-0206U § 1 (part), 1983.)

Within the time specified in the notice of noncompliance, the permittee shall:

B. File with the appeals board a denial that all of the conditions so specified exist, request a public hearing, and correct the conditions which the permittee admits do exist; or
C. File with the appeals board a denial that any of the conditions so specified exist and request a public hearing. (Ord. 97-0016 § 70, 1997: Ord. 83-0208 § 1 (part), 1983: Ord. 83-0206U § 1 (part), 1983.)

Upon receipt of a request for hearing, a notice of hearing shall be given to the permittee by the director, in writing, setting forth the time and place of the hearing, the ground or grounds upon which the administrative action is based, the pertinent code section or sections with which the permittee is not in compliance, and a brief statement of the factual matters in support thereof. The notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the hearing date. (Ord. 97-0016 § 71, 1997: Ord. 83-0208 § 1 (part), 1983: Ord. 83-0206U § 1 (part), 1983.)

Whenever the director finds that suspension of a permit prior to a hearing for administrative action is necessary to protect the public health or safety from imminent danger, the director may immediately suspend any permit pending the hearing for administrative action. The director shall immediately notify the permittee of such suspension by having a written notice of the suspension personally served on the permittee and/or by posting such notice at the facility in noncompliance or by other appropriate means. (Ord. 97-0016 § 72, 1997: Ord. 83-0208 § 1 (part), 1983: Ord. 83-0206U § 1 (part), 1983.)

C. A revocation of the permit for the facility and approval of a provisional permit specifying corrective actions required and a timetable to accomplish compliance;
D. Suspension of the permit for the facility for a specified period not to exceed six months;
E. Modification or addition of conditions of the permit;
F. Revocation of the permit. If the grounds for administrative action are based on Section 11.84.010 C, D or E and if such grounds are limited to one or more underground storage tanks, the remedial action taken shall be limited to those underground storage tanks. (Ord. 97-0016 § 73, 1997: Ord. 83-0208 § 1 (part), 1983: Ord. 83-0206U § 1 (part), 1983.)

The appeals board shall render a written decision, stating the findings upon which the decision is based and the action taken, if any. The decision of the appeals board shall be final. (Ord. 83-0208 § 1 (part), 1983: Ord. 83-0206U § 1 (part), 1983.)
