  Any person who violates or fails to comply with any provision of this part, any order issued in accordance with this part, or any rule, regulation, or standard adopted pursuant to this part, or who fails to pay a lawfully levied fee, is subject to a civil penalty of not less than one hundred dollars ($100) and not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000) per day for each violation. Each day the violation continues constitutes a separate violation, and the person is also liable for any damages to the state resulting therefrom.   Any civil penalty or damages shall be assessed in the following manner:  The commissioner or the commissioner's designee may issue an assessment against any person responsible for the violation or damages. This person shall receive notice of the assessment by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by any other method authorized by law;   Any person against whom an assessment has been issued may request a hearing before the commissioner, or the commissioner's designee, for a review of the assessment;   If a petition for review of assessment is not filed within thirty (30) days after the date the assessment is served, the violator is deemed to have consented to the assessment, and it becomes final;   Whenever an assessment has become final because of a person's failure to appeal the assessment, the commissioner may apply to the appropriate court for a judgment and seek execution on the judgment. The court, in the proceeding, shall treat the failure to appeal the assessment as a confession of judgment in the amount of the assessment; and   The commissioner may institute a proceeding for assessment in the chancery court of Davidson County or in the chancery court of the county in which all or part of the violation or failure to comply occurred.     In assessing a civil penalty, the following factors may be considered:  The harm or potential harm done to the public or the environment;   The economic benefit gained by the violators;   The amount of effort put forth by the violator to attain compliance;   Any unusual or extraordinary enforcement cost incurred by the state; and   The need for an economic deterrent from future violations.     Damages to the state may include any reasonable expenses incurred in investigating and enforcing violations of this part, and in restoring the air, water, land and other property, including animal, plant and aquatic life, of the state to their former condition.

The complaint shall specify the provisions or provision of this part or regulations or order alleged to be violated or about to be violated, the facts alleged to constitute a violation thereof, may order that necessary corrective action be taken within a reasonable time to be prescribed in the order and shall inform the violators of the opportunity for a hearing before the commissioner or the commissioner's designee. Any order shall become final and not subject to review unless the person or persons named therein request a hearing in writing, no later than thirty (30) days after the date the order is served.   Whenever the commissioner finds that the public health, safety or welfare is threatened by radiation hazards and that immediate action is necessary to protect the public, an emergency order may be issued stating the issue of the emergency and directing immediate action as required to alleviate the situation.
