Universal Citation: OK Admin Code 460:30-8-7

Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024

(a) The Department may assess separately a penalty for each day from the date of issuance of the notice of violation or cessation order to the date set for abatement of the violation. In determining whether to make such an assessment, the Department shall consider the factors listed in Section 460:30-8-5 of this Subchapter may consider the extent to which the person to whom the notice or order was issued gained any economic benefit as a result of a failure to comply. For any violation which continues for 2 or more days and which is assigned more than 70 points under Section 460:30-8-5 of this Subchapter, the Department shall assess a penalty for a minimum of 2 separate days.

(b) In addition to the penalty provided for in (a), whenever a violation contained in a notice of violation or cessation order has not been abated within the abatement period set in the notice or order or as subsequently extended pursuant to 45 O.S. Section 1.5 et seq., a penalty of not less than 750.00 dollars shall be assessed for each day during which such failure to abate continues, except that:

(1) Time continuation for finalization
(A) If suspension of the abatement requirements of the notice or order is ordered in a temporary relief proceeding under 45 O.S. Section 1.5 et seq., after a determination that theperson to whom the notice or order was issued will suffer irreparable loss or damage from the application of the requirements, the period permitted for abatement shall not end until the date on which the Department issues a final order with respect to the violation in question; and

(B) If the person to whom the notice or order was issued initiates review proceedings under 45 O.S. Section 1.5 et seq., with respect to the violations, in which the obligations to abate are suspended by the court pursuant to 45 O.S. Section 1.5 et seq., the daily assessment of a penalty shall not be made for any period before entry of a final order by the court;

(2) Such penalty for the failure to abate the violation shall not be assessed for more than 30 days for each such violation. If the permittee has not abated the violation within the 30-day period, the Department shall take appropriate action pursuant to 45 O.S. Section 1.5 et seq., within 30 days to ensure that abatement occurs or to ensure that there will not be a reoccurrence of the failure to abate.
