Where used in this guide, atwelve-month period means amovingtwelve-month window, <br />including the month for the current violation and the preceding eleven months.. The <br />enforcement response for violations of effluent limitations varies according to the past <br />compliance history of the industrial .user. The number of months containing violations in <br />the twelve-month window is determined, and the enforcement response and penalty <br />assessed accordingly. <br />3. For violations of effluent limitations of greater than three times the limitation, the <br />penalties indicated above will be subject to a multiplier determined as follows: <br />Multiplier = (analytical result =permit limitation), rounded to the next lower whole <br />number. Analytical results between 4 and 9 times the limitation will be subject to a <br />.multiplier of two. Analytical results 10 times the limitation or greater will be subject to a <br />multiplier of 3. For example, for a discharge with an effluent limitation of 0.5 mg/L, and <br />an analytical result of 5.1 mg/L, the multiplier is 3. [(5.1 _ 0.5) = L0.2, which rounded to <br />next lower whole number is 10. <br />4. For violations of effluent limitations where the analytical result is less than or equal to 1.2 <br />times the permitted effluent limitation, or is less than 0.2 pH units above or below a per- <br />mitted effluent pH range, the City will not assess an administrative penalty for that viola- <br />Administrative Rule R-6.501 Page 10 Appendix A <br />
