     § 3133.  Enforcement orders.
        (a)  Issuance.--The department may issue orders necessary to
     aid in the enforcement of this chapter. An order may be issued
     if the department finds that a person is in violation of this
     chapter or of a regulation issued under this chapter. The
     department may, in its order, require compliance with terms and
     conditions necessary to effect the purposes of this chapter.
        (b)  Effective date.--An order issued under this section
     shall take effect upon notice unless the order specifies
     otherwise.
        (c)  Other remedies preserved.--The right of the department
     to issue an order under this section is in addition to any
     penalty which may be imposed or any other action taken under
     this chapter.
        (d)  Duty to comply.--It shall be the duty of any person to
     proceed diligently to comply with any order issued by the
     department under this section. If such person fails to proceed
     diligently or fails to comply with the order within such time,
     if any, which may be specified in the order, the person shall be
     guilty of contempt and shall be punished by the court in an
     appropriate manner. For this purpose, application may be made by
     the department to the Commonwealth Court, which court is hereby
     granted jurisdiction.
