What Are Minor Violations?

 

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.
