(3) Any other discharge violation that the city believes has caused, alone or in combination with other discharges, interference or pass through (including endangering the health of city personnel or the general public).
(4) Any discharge of pollutants that has caused imminent endangerment to the public or to the environment or has resulted in the city’s exercise of its emergency authority to halt or prevent such a discharge.
