An imminent health hazard such as a fire, flood, extended interruption of electrical or water service, sewage backup, misuse of poisonous or toxic materials, the onset of an apparent outbreak, or a gross insanitary occurrence requires the permit holder to stop operations and notify the regulatory authority.
