(1) The director shall waive any monetary penalties, or portions thereof, imposed due to mistake or error of the county.

(2) As specified in SCC 7.54.130(1), the director shall waive in full any monetary penalties associated with a violation if the responsible person(s) remediate the violation within the time period specified in the notice and order.

(3) SCC 7.54.130(2), (3) and (4) provide the director with discretion to conditionally reduce the monetary penalties associated with a violation under specified circumstances.
