The District shall have all remedies available to it under Florida law, pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 373, and the rules adopted thereunder to enforce compliance with this chapter. Compliance includes adherence to the rules in this chapter, such as implementation of the approved WQMP and timely submittal of required reports.
    (1) If the District determines a nonpoint source discharger is not adhering to the rules in this chapter:
    (a) The nonpoint source discharger will be subject to enforcement actions by the District upon written notice of non-compliance.
    (b) All nonpoint source dischargers shall respond in writing to a notice of monitoring plan non-compliance from the District within 30 days of the date of the notice. The response must provide a plan that includes a schedule for achieving compliance with the rules within 90 days of the date of the District’s notice. An extension may be approved by the District with justification based on the scope of the proposed activities. The plan may require submittal of a WQMP modification as described in Fl. Admin.
