Policy on Settling Administrative and/or Civil Penalties
Against Counties and Municipalities
Counties and municipalities confront unique constraints in
complying with environmental requirements, but all local governments are
required to fully comply with state statutes and regulations administered
by the Department, and will be regulated in a manner consistent with
regulated entities in the private sector.
In recognition of the unique constraints experienced by
counties and municipalities, the Department has developed the Agency-wide
Policy on Settling Administrative and/or Civil Penalties Against Counties
and Municipalities to provide guidance to Department staff in order to
achieve consistency in responding to noncompliance by counties and
municipalities.

in each environmental division's enforcement policies.
