      s 20. Initiation.

      (a) The General Manager may institute an enforcement proceeding by serving 
      a notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the landowner or 
      person (referred to hereafter as the "respondent") owning, undertaking or 
      maintaining a work that is in violation of this division or threatens the 
      successful execution, functioning or operation of an adopted plan of flood 
      control. The notice must state the acts or omissions which the General 
      Manager believes to be in violation of this division or threatens the 
      successful execution, functioning or operation of an adopted plan of flood 
      control. The notice must specify the statutes or regulations which the 
      respondent is alleged to have violated. This notice must be accompanied by 
      an order requiring the respondent to respond to the notice within thirty 
      (30) days of the receipt of the notice. The notice and the order must 
      state that the board may seek judicial enforcement should the respondent 
      fail to respond to the notice in a timely manner and that the board may 
      abate violations or threats to the adopted plan of flood control through 
      actions identified in section 22(b).

      (b) Other interested parties may become parties to an enforcement 
      proceeding by filing a notice to that effect with the board. The board 
      shall mail a copy of that notice to the respondent within ten (10) days of 
      receipt.

      (c) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), if there is work that has not been 
      approved by the board, the General Manager or the Chief Engineer may issue 
      an order for compliance with this division, including an order to stop 
      work.
