NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Section 19-2-115 authorizes penalties for those found, in a civil proceeding, to violate Title 19, Chapter 2, or any rule, order, or permit issued under that chapter. Rule R307-130 guides the executive secretary of the Air Quality Board in determining a reasonable and appropriate penalty based on the nature and extent of the violation, the economic benefit to the sources of noncompliance, and adjustments for specific circumstances.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No comments have been received about this rule since the last review.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

Under Section 19-2-115, a person is subject in a civil proceeding to a penalty not to exceed $10,000 per day for each violation. Rule R307-130 implements Section 19-2-115; and therefore, this rule should be continued.
