Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The following definitions apply to WAC 16-662-165 and
				  16-662-170:
"Violation" means commission of an act or acts prohibited by
				  chapter 19.112 RCW, Motor Fuel Quality Act, and this chapter or the failure to
				  act in compliance with the requirements of chapter 19.112 RCW and this chapter.
				  Violations include the following: Marketing motor fuels in any manner that may
				  deceive or tend to deceive the purchaser as to the nature, price, quantity and
				  quality of a motor fuel; hindering or obstructing the director or the
				  director's authorized agent in the performance of their duties; marketing a
				  motor fuel that is contrary to the provisions of chapter 19.112 RCW and the
				  regulations adopted under the authority of the Motor Fuel Quality Act.
"First violation" means an act or omission unlawful under
				  RCW
				  19.112.050 that has resulted in a notice of
				  violation or a notice of correction.
"Second violation" means one same or similar violation as a
				  first violation that occurs within two years of the first violation.
"Third violation" means one same or similar violation as a
				  second violation that occurs within two years of the second violation.
"Fourth violation" means one same or similar violation as a
				  third violation that occurs within two years or the third violation.
"Subsequent violation" means one same or similar violation as
				  a fourth violation that occurs within two years of the fourth or any subsequent
				  violation.
"Similar violation" means a violation of a comparable but not
				  identical standard or requirement. For example: A violation of an ASTM fuel
				  standard would be a violation similar to a violation of a different ASTM fuel
				  standard. A violation of an ASTM fuel standard would not be similar to a
				  violation of fuel pricing violation. When determining the level of violation,
				  prior incidents will be based on the date that a final order or stipulated
				  order resolved the prior violation and not from the date that the incident
				  occurred.
"Notice of correction" means a document issued by the
				  department in accordance with
				  RCW
				  43.05.100. A notice of correction will
				  identify any condition that is a violation. Any violation identified in a
				  notice of correction is a violation even though that violation is not subject
				  to a civil penalty when the notice of correction is issued.
"Notice of intent" means a document issued by the department
				  in accordance with
				  RCW
				  43.05.110. A notice of intent assesses a
				  civil penalty under
				  RCW
				  19.112.060(1)(b) for
				  violations of chapter 19.112 RCW as provided under WAC 16-662-165 and
				  16-662-170.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) As provided
				under RCW
				19.112.060(1)(b), the
				department has discretion to determine the civil penalty based on circumstances
				such as the gravity of violations and the history of violations. Criteria for
				determining whether and how to adjust the civil penalties specified in WAC
				16-662-165 are considered aggravating and mitigating factors.
(2) When assessing a penalty using
				aggravating or mitigating factors, the department will provide a written
				summary to include the base penalty amount provided in the civil penalty
				section and any aggravating and/or mitigating factors it considered when
				arriving at a final civil penalty amount that differs from the base penalty
				amount.
(3) The department may
				increase a civil penalty based on the penalties found in WAC 16-662-165 because
				of aggravating factors including, but not limited to, the following:
(a) Situations where the civil penalty
				assessed is not substantially equivalent to the violator's economic benefit
				derived from the violation.
(b) The
				number of separate violations contained within a single notice of
				intent.
(c) The magnitude of the
				harm or potential harm caused by the violation, including the degree of harm to
				any affected vehicles, property, people, or to the environment.
(d) The sameness or similarity of the current
				violation to previous violations committed within the previous two
				years.
(e) The extent to which the
				violation is part of a pattern of the same or substantially similar violations
				including violations at other locations operated by the same business or
				person.
(f) The department may
				assess up to the maximum penalty of ten thousand dollars as authorized under
				RCW
				19.112.060(1)(b) when the
				department determines one or more aggravating factors are associated with
				violations presenting grave risks to persons, property, or the environment or
				that represent a pattern of repeated violations presenting moderate risks to
				persons, property, or the environment.
