Nevada Revised Statutes Title 40. Public Health and Safety § 445C.080. Presumption that regulated person is not liable for administrative or civil penalty for violation; written agreement concerning environmental audit may be modified; authority of regulatory agency not limited by presumption against liability

1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 445C.090, a regulated person is presumed not to be liable for an administrative or civil penalty for a violation of an environmental requirement if:

2. A written agreement that prescribes the scope, methods and schedule for conducting an environmental audit may be reasonably modified if the regulated person and the regulatory agency specifically agree to the modification.

3. If a federal statute or regulation provides for the imposition of a penalty for a violation of an environmental requirement, the voluntary disclosure is, to the extent permitted under the statute or regulation, a mitigating factor in determining the amount of the penalty for the violation.

4. The presumption against administrative or civil liability does not limit the authority of a regulatory agency to order a regulated person to comply with an environmental requirement whose violation it discovered because the regulated person voluntarily disclosed the results of an environmental audit.
