2. If the Administrator finds a violation of the provisions of this chapter or of any regulation adopted pursuant thereto, the Administrator may issue a notice of violation to the person who the Administrator alleges has violated the provision. The notice of violation must set forth the violation which the Administrator alleges with particularity and specify the corrective action which is to be taken and the time within which the action must be taken.
