a multiplier of 10 percent to the base amount, because appellant demonstrated <br />chronic pattern of noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations, and his <br />conduct was intentional (PRC section 45016, subdivisions (c) and (d)). EHD <br />calculated the penalty from December 14, 2008, the date the Notice and Order <br />became final, to February 14, 2012, a period of 1155 days. Under the <br />circumstances, civil penalties of $190,575 for these violations are appropriate. <br />Conclusion <br />1. PRC sections 43209 and 45000, and 14 CCR sections 18304 and 18304.1, <br />authorize EHD to issue enforcement orders for violations of the PRC and <br />regulations adopted pursuant to Division 30 of the PRC. PRC section 45011 <br />authorized EHD to assess penalties for failure to comply with the enforcement <br />order. <br />2. Pursuant to PRC section 45011, cause exists to impose a civil penalty on <br />Owner/operator for failure to correct the violation of 27 CCR Section 20820, <br />20650 and 20750 as set forth in EHD's Notice and Order, dated November 8, <br />2008. A civil penalty in the amount of $ 190,575 is reasonable and appropriate. <br />
