Enforcement program; investigation.

(a) It shall be the duty of the administrator to develop an enforcement program which will ensure compliance with regulations and requirements referenced in this chapter. An enforcement program shall include, but is not limited to, regulations for identification of property locations which are subject to the regulations and requirements; issuing notifications to violating property owners or operators; random on-site inspections and tests on existing installations; witnessing periodic inspections and testing in order to ensure satisfactory performance by licensed persons, sole proprietors, firms, or corporations; and assisting in the development of public awareness programs.

(b) Any person may request an investigation into an alleged violation of this chapter by giving notice to the administrator of such violation or danger. The notice shall be in writing, shall set forth with reasonable particularity the grounds for the notice, and shall be signed by the person making the request. Upon the request of any person signing the notice, such person's name shall not appear on any copy of the notice or any record published, released, or made available.

(c) If upon receipt of a notification, the administrator determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe that a violation or danger exists, the administrator shall cause to be made an investigation in accordance with this chapter as soon as practicable to determine if such violation or danger exists. If the administrator determines that there are no reasonable grounds to believe that a violation or danger exists, the administrator shall notify the party in writing of such determination.
