Penalty Policy

The goal of enforcement is to return a company to compliance in a timely fashion and discourage future noncompliance after all other attempts at compliance have failed.  The Hazardous Waste Program's Compliance and Enforcement Section uses standardized policies to evaluate non-compliance situations.  These policies ensure that all companies are treated in a fair, equitable manner.
