Remedial Penalties for Discharges. Civil penalties for
discharges under the FWPCA serve a remedial purpose in
addition to deterrence, in that they are used to finance
the elimination and prevention of pollution. Penalty
recommendations for discharges requiring remedial action
may warrant higher assessments than those limited only
to considerations of deterrence.
