Measures for Continuous Penalty on a Daily Basis.

The Measures specify four situations subject to continuous daily fines if the polluter does not stop the discharge of pollutants: (i) discharge of pollutants exceeding national/ local pollutant discharge standard, or the key total pollutant discharging amount; (ii) discharge of pollutants in ways intended to escape supervision, such as through underground pipelines, a seepage well, or seepage pit, falsifying monitoring data, and improper operation of a pollution prevention facility; (iii) discharge of prohibited pollutants; and (iv) illegal dumping of hazardous waste. The Daily Penalty Measures also provide guidelines on how the fines are to be calculated and the procedure for imposing the daily penalty.
