MEASUREMENTS

 

WHAT THE MEASURE IS SHOWING

During fiscal year 2009-2010 Region 9 issued one Administrative Civil Liability actions were issued under the WDR-Land Diposal program. Of the assessed amount, 100% has been resolved and collected. None of the actions were resolved with the completion of a supplemental environmental project.

WHY THIS MEASURE IS IMPORTANT

California law and the Water Boards enforcement policy establishes the circumstances for which violations must receive a penalty and in what amount. In certain cases, the Water Boards have the discretion of imposing administrative civil liabilities after considering certain factors. The Regional Boards can also consider whether the discharger should be allowed to satisfy some or all of the monetary assessment by completing or funding one or more supplemental environmental projects (SEP) or by depositing the penalty amount in a specified fund. Preparing each case for prosecution requires a significant amount of time and resources. This measure describes a significant workload for the enforcement program.
