CONCURRING

OPINION

(by

~)urneII.e)

The

penalty

set

by

the

majority

in

this

case

is

far

too

low.

It

wil:L

not

deter

others

from

making

a

travesty

out

of

the

requirement

to

reasonably

maintain

and

operate

a

sewage

treatment

plant.

I

recommended

a

penalty

of

$5,000

in

this

case.

Seven

months to perform a

routine

repair

on

a

primary

tank

is

far

too

long.

And

other

repairs
