Common use of FINAL LIABILITY Clause in Contracts

FINAL LIABILITY. The final liability proposed is $282,500 (rounded) for Violations 1 through 8, based on consideration of the penalty factors discussed above. It is within the minimum and maximum liabilities.

Violation ID = Identification number assigned to a permit exceedance in CIWQS. C = Count – The number that follows represents the number of exceedances in the past 180 days, including this violation. A count greater than three (> C3) means that a penalty under Water Code section 13385(i) applies. NA – Not Applicable; pH classified as other pollutant, which is not listed neither with Group I nor Group II S = Serious, which means that a penalty under Water Code section 13385(h) applies when an effluent limitation is exceeded 40 percent or more for a Group I pollutant or 20 percent or more for a Group II pollutant. Note 1 = Chlorine is a Group II pollutant and the percent above the limit of 0.0 mg/L is more than 20 but not quantifiable. This is for use in documenting how a specific San Francisco Bay Regional Monitoring Program study by the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) complies with the State Water Resources Control Board Policy on Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEP) (▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇/water_issues/programs/enforcement/#policy). Study Name: Hydrodynamic and water quality model calibration and application in San Francisco Bay and Lower South Bay Study Budget, Total: $240,250 SFEI Contact:  Technical – ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, office (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇  Financial – ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ The primary goals for this study are to calibrate and validate numerical models used for (1) predicting how anthropogenic nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) enter and react within the Bay; (2) predicting how the Bay responds to these inputs, including phytoplankton blooms and low dissolved oxygen; and (3) exploring how various nutrient load reduction management decisions will affect habitat condition. The models will also be useful for tracing how inflows, including streams, rivers and discharges, influence salinity distributions, and how contaminants and materials present in these flows are transported throughout the Bay, including Lower South Bay.

Quality System database used by the Water Boards to manage violation and enforcement activities. Violation ID = Identification number assigned to a permit exceedance in CIWQS. C = Count – The number that follows represents the number of exceedances in the past 180 days, including this violation. A count greater than three (> C3) means that a penalty under Water Code section 13385(i) applies. NA – Not Applicable; pH classified as other pollutant, which is not listed neither with Group I nor Group II S = Serious, which means that a penalty under Water Code section 13385(h) applies when an effluent limitation is exceeded 40 percent or more for a Group I pollutant or 20 percent or more for a Group II pollutant. Note 1 = Chlorine is a Group II pollutant and the percent above the limit of 0.0 mg/L is more than 20 but not quantifiable. This is for use in documenting how a specific San Francisco Bay Regional Monitoring Program study by the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) complies with the State Water Resources Control Board Policy on Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEP) (▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇.▇▇▇/water_issues/programs/enforcement/#policy). Study Name: Hydrodynamic and water quality model calibration and application in San Francisco Bay and Lower South Bay Study Budget, Total: $240,250 SFEI Contact:  Technical – ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, office (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇  Financial – ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ The primary goals for this study are to calibrate and validate numerical models used for (1) predicting how anthropogenic nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) enter and react within the Bay; (2) predicting how the Bay responds to these inputs, including phytoplankton blooms and low dissolved oxygen; and (3) exploring how various nutrient load reduction management decisions will affect habitat condition. The models will also be useful for tracing how inflows, including streams, rivers and discharges, influence salinity distributions, and how contaminants and materials present in these flows are transported throughout the Bay, including Lower South Bay.
