Current through Register Vol. 13, July 5, 2024
(1) As provided in
				this rule, the department shall calculate the base penalty by multiplying the
				maximum penalty amount authorized by statute by a factor from the appropriate
				base penalty matrix in (2) or (3). In order to select a matrix from (2) or (3),
				the nature of the violation must first be established. For violations that harm
				or have the potential to harm human health or the environment, the department
				shall classify the extent and gravity of the violation as major, moderate, or
				minor as provided in (4) and (5). For all other violations, the extent factor
				does not apply, and the department shall classify the gravity of the violation
				as major, moderate, or minor as provided in (5).
(2) The department shall use the following
				matrix for violations that harm or have the potential to harm human health or
				the environment:
GRAVITY
EXTENT
Major
Moderate
Minor

(3)
				The department shall use the following matrix for violations that adversely
				impact the department's administration of the applicable statute or rules, but
				which do not harm or have the potential to harm human health or the
				environment:
(4) In determining the
				extent of a violation, the factors that the department may consider include,
				but are not limited to, the volume, concentration, and toxicity of the
				regulated substance, the severity and percent of exceedance of a regulatory
				limit, and the duration of the violation. The department shall determine the
				extent of a violation as follows:
(a) a
				violation has a major extent if it constitutes a major deviation from the
				applicable requirements;
(b) a
				violation has a moderate extent if it constitutes a moderate deviation from the
				applicable requirements;
(c) a
				violation has a minor extent if it constitutes a minor deviation from the
				applicable requirements.

Current through Register Vol. 13, July 5, 2024
(1) As provided in
				this rule, the department may consider circumstances, good faith and
				cooperation, and amounts voluntarily expended to calculate an adjusted base
				penalty. Circumstances may be used to increase the base penalty. Good faith and
				cooperation and amounts voluntarily expended may be used to decrease the base
				penalty. The amount of adjustment for each of the above factors is based upon a
				percentage of the base penalty. The amount of the adjustment is added to the
				base penalty to obtain an adjusted base penalty.
(2) The department may increase a base
				penalty by up to 30% based upon the circumstances of the violation. To
				determine the penalty adjustment based upon circumstances, the department shall
				evaluate a violator's culpability associated with the violation. In determining
				the amount of increase for circumstances, the department's consideration must
				include, but not be limited to, the following factors:
(a) how much control the violator had over
				the violation;
(b) the
				foreseeability of the violation;
(c) whether the violator took reasonable
				precautions to prevent the violation;
(d) the foreseeability of the impacts
				associated with the violation; and
(e) whether the violator knew or should have
				known of the requirement that was violated.

(2) For continuing violations, if the
				application of (1) results in a penalty that is higher than the department
				believes is necessary to provide an adequate deterrent, the department may
				reduce the number of days of violation.

Current through Register Vol. 13, July 5, 2024
(1) As
				provided in this rule, the department may increase the total adjusted penalty
				based upon the violator's history of violation. Any penalty increases for
				history of violation must be added to the total adjusted penalty calculated
				under ARM 17.4.305 to obtain a total
				penalty.
(2) The department may
				calculate a separate increase for each historic violation. The amount of the
				increase must be calculated by multiplying the base penalty calculated under

				percentage from (3). This amount must then be added to the total adjusted
				penalty calculated under ARM 17.4.305.
(3) The department shall determine the nature
				of each historic violation in accordance with ARM
				17.4.302(6). The
				department may increase the total adjusted penalty for history of violation
				using the following percentages:
(a) for each
				historic violation that, under these rules, would be classified as harming or
				having the potential to harm human health or the environment, the penalty
				increase must be 10% of the base penalty calculated under ARM 17.4.303;
				and
(b) for each historic violation
				that, under these rules, would be classified as adversely impacting the
				department's administration of the applicable statute or rules, but not harming
				or having the potential to harm human health or the environment, the penalty
				increase must be 5% of the base penalty calculated under ARM
				17.4.303.

(1) The department
				may increase the total adjusted penalty, as calculated under ARM
				17.4.305, by an amount based upon
				the violator's economic benefit. The department shall base any penalty increase
				for economic benefit on the department's estimate of the costs of compliance,
				based upon the best information reasonably available at the time it calculates
				a penalty under these rules. The economic benefit must be added to the total
				adjusted penalty calculated under ARM
				17.4.305 to obtain the total
				penalty.
