The Director may thereafter serve by (i) person service or (ii) United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, upon the party named in the Notice of Violation a request for payment of the cost of the corrective action, plus up to 20 percent. The notice shall establish a deadline for payment in the same manner as provided for civil penalties.

In any successful action to recover payment, the court shall additionally assess court costs against the delinquent party and may levy against the party’s assets to collect any judgment entered.
