Why D is correct
T.C.A. § 56-6-112(g) treats each day of continued violation as a separate violation, each carrying a penalty of up to $1,000. This structure gives producers a strong incentive to cure violations immediately, though the penalties remain subject to the $100,000 aggregate cap regardless of how many days the violation persists.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) The statute does not collapse a continuing violation into the first day; every day of continuation is separately countable.
- B) Continued violation is precisely what the statute reaches — the days are not ignored, they multiply the violations.
- C) There is no weekly averaging; the statute counts violations by the day under T.C.A. § 56-6-112(g).
Memory hook
In Tennessee, a lingering violation bills by the day — every day is a new violation.
