(a)   Any person who violates any provisions of article II, V, or X of chapter 16, or who fails to perform any duties imposed by these articles, or who violates any determination, permit, administrative regulation, or order of the division of environmental services issued pursuant thereto shall be liable for a civil fine for the civil offense and in addition, maybe concurrently enjoined from any violations as provided in sections 16-209.
(b)   The compliance history of the violator, the degree of environmental harm caused by the violation, and whether the violation demonstrates a willful and knowing disregard for the environment or the requirements of chapter 16 shall be considered in determining the amount of the civil fine.
