Upon receipt of notice that a land-disturbing activity is in violation of said act, the CMAR shall be <br />responsible for ensuring that all steps or actions necessary to bring the Project in compliance with <br />said act are promptly taken and shall incur the cost of any related fines. <br /> <br />22.3.
