I have a question about the administrative monetary penalties. I think it's a maximum of $50,000 for an individual. Is that right?

It seems to me that it is quite a significant figure for an individual, of course, but there was some talk about ensuring that the owner remains liable for the costs of removing. Is that in addition to the administrative monetary penalty? I'm trying to figure out if it's a punitive or a compensatory model of damages.
