## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Planning & Environment](https://ailawframework.com/practice/planning-and-environment.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Extract the violation the order states, the date it requires, and the facts in the client file that address that violation. Write no sentence of the response. |
| What the lawyer must review | 33 USC section 1319 authorises the Administrator to issue a compliance order. The order must be served personally, must state the violation with reasonable specificity, and must set a time for compliance not exceeding 30 days for a violation of an interim compliance schedule or an operation and maintenance requirement, and a time the Administrator finds reasonable for a final deadline. A copy goes to the state. The Administrator may also sue for an injunction. You write the response. If a paper is filed in the action, Rule 11 is your certification. Opinion 512: no generated citation goes in the response. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Extract the violation the order states, the date it requires, and the facts in the client file that address that violation. Write no sentence of the response.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- A local planning enforcement notice is not this order. Open that ordinance before you describe it.
- The 30-day figure is for an interim schedule or an operation and maintenance violation, not for every final deadline.
