Gallons Subject to Administrative Civil Liability Sample Clauses

Gallons Subject to Administrative Civil Liability. 75,046 gallons As shown in Table 2, 108,414 gallons were discharged to surface water during the 13 SSO events. Of this, 23,935 gallons were recovered. CWC section 13385, subdivision (c)(2) states that the maximum per-gallon civil liability is $10/gallon multiplied by the number of gallons discharged but not cleaned up over 1,000 gallons. Table 2 provides the calculations to show the gallons subject to administrative civil liability for each spill. For example, Spill #1 discharged 8,551 gallons to the Rio Hondo. None of this spill was recovered, and therefore 7,551 gallons are subject to administrative civil liability. Spill #5 discharged 6,000 gallons to the Alhambra Wash; however, because all 6,000 gallons were recovered, there is not a per-gallon penalty for this spill. Similarly, Spill #6 discharged 283 gallons to the Los Angeles River. Although none of this spill was recovered, because less than 1,000 gallons were discharged, there is not a per-gallon penalty for Spill #6. As shown in the “Total” row of Table 2, the 13 spills resulted in 75,046 gallons that are subject to administrative civil liability. Per Gallon Assessment: 0.28 per gallon factor x 75,046 gallons x $10 per gallon = $210,129 2. Per Day Assessment When there is a discharge, the Los Angeles Water Board is to determine an initial liability amount on a per-day basis using the Potential for Harm score and the Extent of Deviation from Requirement.
