In addition to injunctive and compensatory relief, a civil penalty of not more than $1,000 may be imposed for each violation. An action to enjoin a violation may be brought notwithstanding the availability of any other remedy. On application for injunctive relief and a finding that a person has violated AS 30.30.010, the superior court may grant the injunction. Each day that a violation occurs constitutes a separate violation.
(b) The department may provide for the payment of a civil penalty under this section by mail.
