(C) Any person, firm, or corporation who violates any provision of §§ 93.25 through 93.31 shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $2500 for each violation.

These fines shall be in addition to the actual cost of clean up assessed in § 93.30 herein. The offense shall not be calculated as a prior offense for penalty enhancement beyond 360 days.
