(b) (1) In addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, a civil
penalty may be assessed for violation of any provision of this subtitle, or rule, regulation,
order or permit issued under it; and shall be assessed whenever the Bureau issues a cease
and desist order on imminent danger or significant imminent environmental harm under
§ 15-508(e) of this subtitle. The penalty may be assessed by the Secretary [of Natural
Resources] or a hearing officer designated by the Secretary, only after the person
charged with the violation has been given an opportunity for a public hearing in

violation fails to request a public hearing, a civil penalty shall be assessed only after the

warranted and has issued an order requiring the penalty be paid. The civil penalty
assessed may not exceed $5,000 for each day of violation.
