Minor
violations are violations which AQMD, in its discretion, deems to be administrative
or
procedural in nature, or which involve a de minimis amount of emissions increases.
Minor violations that are corrected
in the presence of the inspector generally will not result in issuance of a Notice to Comply unless they are repeated minor violations. In such cases, a
Notice of Violation, which is a
more serious enforcement action, could result in penalties.
Minor violations DO NOT include:
-
Violations
of federal requirements.
-
Violations which create a public nuisance (Rule
402- pdf 8 kb) or endanger the environment or the heath, safety or welfare of any person or
persons.
-
Violations
that are chronic or committed by a
recalcitrant violator.
-
Violations supported by evidence that:
-
The violation is willful, knowing, intentional or grossly negligent,
-
The violation results in economic benefit, or
-
The violator has engaged in a pattern of neglect or disregard.
