D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 20, r. 20-4311
In any instance where a civil fine, penalty, or fee has been established pursuant to § 104 of the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Civil Infractions Act of 1985, effective October 5, 1985, as amended (D.C. Law 6-42; D.C. Official Code § 2-1801.4 (2001)), and the Civil Infractions Schedule of Fines, 16 DCMR chapter 32, the civil fine, penalty, or fee may be imposed as an alternative sanction to the penalties set forth in § 12(b) and (c) of the District of Columbia Hazardous Waste Management Act of 1977, effective March 16, 1978, as amended (D.C. Law 2-64; D.C. Official Code § 8-1311(b) and (c) (2001)).
Where civil infraction fines are the only penalties pursued in a particular case, the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Civil Infractions Act of 1985 and the regulations adopted thereunder, govern the proceedings in lieu of this chapter, and where there is a violation, a notice of infraction may be issued without first issuing a notice of violation, threat, or release.
A civil infraction case may be consolidated for hearing together with another case in which a proposed compliance order, proposed cease and desist order, or proposed modification, suspension, or revocation order has been issued against the same respondent.
