If abatement compensation exceeds limits, what may result?

• A. Automatic license suspension
• B. No action
• C. Additional licensing may be required
• D. Federal penalties

Answer: (C)

Abatement costs are bound by what your permit allows. When the money needed to fix or reduce a nuisance exceeds those limits, the activities are no longer fully covered by the existing license. The proper step is to obtain additional licensing or amend the permit so that the extra abatement actions and expenses are formally authorized. This keeps you operating within the regulatory framework and ensures oversight and compliance.

Automatic license suspension isn’t issued merely for going over a monetary limit; no action would leave you noncompliant; federal penalties would apply only if federal law is involved.
