49-461. Violations; order of abatement
When the director has reasonable cause to believe that any person has violated or is
in violation of any provision of this article, any rule adopted pursuant to this article
or any requirement of a permit issued pursuant to this article, he may serve upon such
person by certified mail or in person an order of abatement or may file a complaint in
superior court alleging a violation pursuant to section 49-463. The order shall state
with particularity the act constituting the violation, shall state in its entirety the
specific requirement, provision or rule violated, shall state the duration of the order
and shall state that the alleged violator is entitled to a hearing, if such hearing is
requested in writing within thirty days after the date of issuance of the order. The
order may be conditional and require a person to refrain from particular acts unless
certain conditions are met. An order issued under this section shall require the persons
to whom it is issued to comply with the requirement, provision or rule as expeditiously
as practicable. In the case of a source required to obtain a permit pursuant to this
article and title V of the clean air act, the order shall require compliance no later
than one year after the date the order was issued and may be renewable for no more than
one additional year on a showing of good cause to the director.
