(i) Total Penalty Calculation:
(1) Separate penalties shall accrue for each day of violation, as set forth in Public Resources Code sections 42850 and 42850.1. Multiply each applicable violation penalty amount by the number of days of violation. Add the results for each violation to determine a total penalty amount.
(2) An unpermitted waste tire facility total penalty may not exceed maximum penalty amounts for each day of violation, as set forth in Public Resources Code sections 42825 and 42835. Unpermitted waste tire facilities include Exempt or Excluded waste tire facilities as that term is defined in section 17225.822 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. For capacity violations at Exempt or Excluded waste tire facilities, calculate the amount of waste tires onsite that exceed the amount authorized by Public Resources Code sections 42823.5(a) and 42831, sections 18420(a) and 18431.3 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, or other amounts authorized by the Department.
(3) Penalties for 2nd and Subsequent Negligent Acts, and Intentional Acts, may be assessed against an operator and/or owner as provided in Tables 1 and 4 when the operator and/or owner committed a prior violation at the same or a separate location.
