42845. (a) (1) A person who stores, stockpiles, or accumulates waste tires at a location for which a waste tire facility permit is required pursuant to this chapter, or in violation of the terms and conditions of the permit, the provisions of this chapter, or the regulations adopted under this chapter, shall, upon order of the department, clean up those waste tires or abate the effects of the waste tires, or, in the case of threatened pollution or nuisance, take other necessary remedial action.
(2) If the order issued by the department pursuant to this subdivision is issued to a person operating a waste tire facility that has not been issued a waste tire facility permit, the department shall require the person operating the facility to remove all waste and used tires from the site and prohibit the person operating the facility from accepting any additional waste or used tires at the site for a specified time period.
(b) The department shall include in an order issued pursuant to subdivision (a), a condition that the department shall perform inspections at the location of the violation that are in addition to those inspections otherwise required by this chapter or by any regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter, for a period of up to one year following the date of the issuance of the order, at a frequency determined by the department. The person who is the subject of the order shall reimburse the department for the cost of the additional inspections conducted pursuant to this subdivision, including the cost of preparing for the inspection, traveling to and from the inspection, and writing up the inspection reports, at the same amounts that are determined annually and approved for enforcement agents to be charged by the department for purposes of the enforcement of this chapter.
(c) If a person operating a waste tire facility pursuant to a waste tire facility permit fails to comply with a cleanup or abatement order issued pursuant to subdivision (a), the Attorney General, at the request of the department, shall petition the superior court for that county for the issuance of an injunction requiring the person to comply with that order. In a suit, the court shall have jurisdiction to grant a prohibitory or mandatory injunction, either preliminary or permanent, as the facts may warrant.
(d) If a person operating an unpermitted waste tire facility fails to comply with a notice of violation issued for a violation of this chapter or any regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter, the Attorney General, at the request of the department, shall petition the superior court for that county for the issuance of an injunction requiring the person to comply with that order. In any suit, the court shall have jurisdiction to grant a prohibitory or mandatory injunction, either preliminary or permanent, as the facts may warrant.
(e) If the Attorney General declines, or is unable, to petition the appropriate superior court for issuance of an injunction within 30 days from the department’s request, pursuant to subdivision (c) or (d), the district attorney or county counsel of that county may, at the department’s request, petition the superior court for issuance of the injunction specified in subdivision (c) or (d).
