Within the territorial limits of the United States, violations of the Clean Air Act of 1990, that includes the intentional release of R-11, R-12, R-22 and other related class I or class II substances may result in fines for each violation per day of what amount?
• Clean Air Act of 1990 penalty structure for violations • Meaning of "per violation per day" in federal environmental penalties • How serious the intentional release of class I and class II refrigerants (like R‑11, R‑12, R‑22) is considered under federal law
• Ask yourself: Does the U.S. usually set relatively low, moderate, or high fines for intentional environmental violations involving ozone‑depleting substances? • Compare the amounts: which of these looks more like a small warning-level fine and which looks more like a serious deterrent-level fine? • Think about the phrase "per violation per day"—if that amount applied every day for weeks or months, which number would create a strong incentive for companies and vessels to comply?
• Verify that class I and class II substances (like R‑11, R‑12, R‑22) are treated as serious ozone‑depleting chemicals under the Clean Air Act. • Consider that intentional violations usually carry higher penalties than accidental ones—use that to rule out options that seem too low. • Remember that the fine is per violation per day, so mentally multiply each choice by 10 or 30 days and see which level fits a realistic federal enforcement action.
