Title 18 . Environmental Conservation
Chapter 95 . Administrative Enforcement
Section 900. Definitions

18 AAC 95.900. Definitions

As used in this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires

(1) "commissioner" means the commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation;

(2) "department" means the Department of Environmental Conservation;

(3) "designee" means the employee of the department to whom the commissioner has delegated the power to hear and decide a particular case;

(4) "objection" means a submission by the respondent, in response to a notice of intent, which raises any matter specified in sec. 20(c) of this chapter;

(5) "party" means the respondent and the prosecuting office;

(6) "prosecuting office" means the division or regional office of the department primarily responsible for prosecution of a case;

(7) "reasonable assurance" means that, after taking into account predictable natural or human intervention, the remaining risk of violation is negligible, and the costs of further reducing the negligible risk are disproportionate to the remaining risk itself; a lowering of the risk beyond that level is not a "reasonable assurance";

(8) "report" means a detailed submission by the respondent, in response to a notice of intent, which specifies what measures have been or are being taken, or are proposed to be taken to correct or prevent the violation;

(9) "threatened violation" means that it is more likely than not that, unless corrective or preventive measures are taken, a violation will occur in the foreseeable future; and

(10) "violation" includes a violation of a provision of AS 46.03 or AS 30.25, or of a regulation, permit, certificate, order or term or condition of a permit, certificate or order issued or promulgated by the department under authority of AS 46.03 or AS 30.25.
