reckless act is marked by a lack of proper caution, or carelessness of <br />consequences. An.intentional act is an act done by intention or design. <br />(c) The MULTIPLIER is the sum of "A" plus "G" where: <br />1. "A" is the extent of prior stormwater related enforcement actions <br />taken against this responsible party, whether at this property or another. The value <br />of "A" shall be: <br />a. 1, if this violation is the first enforcement action against this <br />responsible party. <br />b. 2, if this is the second enforcement action taken against this <br />responsible party within the past five years. <br />c. 4, if this violation is at least the third enforcement action <br />taken against this responsible party within the past five years. <br />2. "G" is the gravity and magnitude of the violation. The value of "G" <br />shall be determined and set at the time the enforcement officer initiates compliance <br />efforts. This value shall not be decreased if, after compliance efforts are initiated, <br />actions are taken to reduce the gravity of the situation. The value of "G" shall be <br />from 1 through 10 and shall be based on the following considerations: <br />a. _ The significance of the violation due to the quantity and/or <br />type of substance released. <br />b. The potential for further dispersion of the released substance <br />.within the clean-up and/or .mitigation time frame established by the <br />enforcement officer. <br />c. The immediate threat posed to life, property, or the <br />environment. <br />d. The necessity .for immediate action to capture the released <br />substance, prevent further dispersal of the released substance, or to prevent <br />damage to property and/or the environment. <br />A violation may rate a "G" value of 1 if there is no immediate or significant threat <br />to life, property, and/or the environment due to the quantity and/or type of <br />substance released; or if there is low potential for further dispersion of a released <br />.substance with either no or only minor potential consequences. <br />A violation may rate a "G" value of 10 if there is an immediate or significant <br />threat to life, property, and/or the environment due to the quantity and/or type of <br />substance released. To protect both public and environmental health the situation <br />cannot be tolerated and immediate actions are necessary in order to capture and <br />J; _ <br />Stormwater System Administrative Rule - 12 <br />
