(1) A permit holder operating any irrigation system which does not pass an inspection due to the failure to have installed and operating any device required by section 35-11-107 or the failure to properly install such a device shall have such permit summarily suspended by the inspector at the time of the inspection. Such summary suspension shall be subject to proceedings for suspension and revocation of the permit by the commissioner in accordance with the applicable provisions of article 4 of title 24, C.R.S. Any irrigation system which has had its permit suspended or revoked shall not be used for chemigation until such irrigation system has been inspected and a reinstatement fee paid. Such reinstatement fee shall be in an amount which is double the amount of the permit fee plus the amount of the inspection fee.
(2) A permit holder operating any irrigation system which does not pass an inspection because of a defect in any device which is properly installed shall be subject to a repair order issued by the inspector at the time of inspection. The permit holder shall remedy the defect within sixty days of the issuance of the order, and the inspector shall reinspect the irrigation system within ninety days of the issuance of the repair order. Any irrigation system subject to a repair order shall not be used for chemigation until the irrigation system is reinspected and the defect remedied. A fee may be charged or collected for the reinspection in specified circumstances described in the rules and regulations.
