Selected Highlights
Stormwater cases result in over 31 million pounds of pollution reduced. In support of EPA’s National Enforcement Priority for Wet Weather/Storm Water, Region 4 issued 27 administrative actions requiring injunctive relief for Clean Water Act and storm water violations at construction sites. These actions were brought against developers and homebuilders in AL, GA, KY, NC and TN. The total average annual amount of pollutants reduced for the actions was 31.9 million pounds/year. The violations ranged from failure to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit to failure to follow the NPDES permit conditions. The NPDES permit conditions that were violated included: failure to properly design, implement or maintain best management practices; failure to maintain records; failure to inspect; and failure to take all reasonable steps to prevent or minimize discharges that may cause harm to the environment. Each of the administrative orders required that the violations be corrected within a specified period of time and that documentation be provided to the government to demonstrate that the violations were corrected.
