What kind of violations does the CAC issue notices for?

The issuance of notices for Class A and Class B violations by the Compliance Assurance Company (CAC) reflects a structured approach to enforcing environmental regulations. Class A violations are typically more severe, indicating significant non-compliance that may pose a serious risk to public health or the environment. In contrast, Class B violations, while still serious, involve issues that are less critical but still require attention to ensure compliance with established regulations.

This classification allows the CAC to prioritize enforcement actions based on the severity of the violation. By notifying entities of both Class A and Class B violations, the CAC can address a broader spectrum of non-compliance issues, ensuring that even lesser violations are corrected, thereby promoting overall regulatory adherence and environmental protection.

Choosing only minor violations or focusing solely on environmental violations would narrow the scope of enforcement unnecessarily, potentially overlooking critical cases. Administrative violations, while important, do not encompass the full range of compliance issues that the CAC addresses. Thus, recognizing both Class A and Class B violations as the basis for issuing notices provides a comprehensive approach to managing environmental compliance effectively.
