In addition to all other rights herein granted, the authority and the courts shall have the power to assure compliance with the purposes of this Chapter as follows:

(1)  If the authority’s board of commissioners or executive director has reasonable cause to believe that there exists a violation of this Chapter or of the authority’s rules and regulations, which could result in irreparable injury to the authority’s operations, the environment, or the public interest, the authority may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appropriate mandatory, injunctive, or other relief pending final adjudication of such matters.

(2)  The authority may issue such orders as the public interest and equities of the case may require, and as may be necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Chapter, including but not limited to cease and desist orders, revocation of or other appropriate action affecting licenses issued by the authority, and such affirmative action as may be appropriate.

(3)  In the event that the authority should determine that any order made by it, and not then the subject of judicial review, is being violated, the authority may institute a civil action in any court of competent jurisdiction, for enforcement of the authority’s order.  The enforcement proceeding shall be confined to the record before the authority. The court may enforce, remand, reverse, or modify the order of the authority.
