1. When the director has evidence that a violation of any provision of division II of this chapter or chapter 459, subchapter II, or rule, standard or permit established or issued under division II or chapter 459, subchapter II, has occurred, the director shall notify the alleged violator and, by informal negotiation, attempt to resolve the problem. If the negotiations fail to resolve the problem within a reasonable period of time, the director shall issue an order directing the violator to prevent, abate or control the emissions or air pollution involved. The order shall prescribe the date by which the violation shall cease and may prescribe timetables for necessary action to prevent, abate or control the emissions of air pollution. The order may be appealed to the commission.
