Any such recycling company that violates any air, water, or odor pollution standard more than one time in a 36-month period shall be subject to a higher penalty than what is currently charged for a first violation. The higher penalty for subsequent violations in any 36-month period shall be between $10,000 and $30,000 per violation. The act is similar to SB 534 (2007) and SB 591 (2006). ERIKA JAQUES
