1. (a) For the purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply:

   1. (1) “Major deviation from requirement” means the violator deviated from a requirement of a statute or rule to such an extent that there is substantial non-compliance;
   2. (2) “Major potential for harm” means a substantial likelihood of causing harm to human health or the environment;
   3. (3) “Minor deviation from requirement” means the violator deviated partially from a requirement of a statute or rule such that most of the requirement was met;
   4. (4) “Minor potential for harm” means a small likelihood of causing harm to human health or the environment;
   5. (5) “Moderate deviation from requirement” means the violator significantly deviated from a requirement of a statute or rule but some requirements were implemented as intended, such that approximately half of the requirements were met; and
   6. (6) “Moderate potential for harm” means a moderate likelihood of causing harm to human health or the environment.

2. (b) For violating the requirements of, or refusing to comply with, any of the provisions of Env-Or 600 or RSA 146-A, RSA 147-A, RSA 146-C or RSA 485-C not identified in Env-Or 615.01 through Env-Or 615.15, the proposed fine for each violation shall be calculated pursuant to Table 600-4 or Table 600-5 below, based on the maximum fine that can be assessed for the violation, potential for harm and the extent of deviation from the requirement.
