This report displays violations that require assessment of “Mandatory Minimum Penalties.” Water Code sections 13385(h) and (i) and 13385.1(a) require minimum penalties if discharges to waters of the U.S. violate certain types of permit limits. Generally, these include chronic (four within any 180 day period) effluent violations or single acute violation (an exceedence of either 20 or 40 percent of the permitted limit, depending on the constituent) of certain constituents. Additionally, monitoring reports that are more than thirty days late require a minimum penalty to be assessed. For more information about MMPs, see page 28 of the Enforcement Policy. For more information about the report and how to navigate, we have developed a Fact Sheet.
