§ 51.999 PENALTY.

   (A)   Any person who violates any provision of this chapter for which no specific penalty has been provided, or any permit condition, or who violates any cease and desist order, prohibition, effluent limitation, or pretreatment or toxicity standard, shall be liable civilly to a penalty not to exceed $1,000 for individuals and $5,000 for corporations. Each day in which violation occurs shall be considered as separate violation.

   (B)   Any person who violates § 51.098 shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000 or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or both.
