EPA v. JAY PEAK RESORT

Case summary

On September 6, 2011, Region 1 filed a proposed consent agreement and final order that would both initiate and resolve CWA 301(a) violations against Jay Peak Resort, Inc. Jay Peak developed a golf course in Jay, Vermont that affected a total of 2.1 acres of wetlands and streams and did not obtain a Section 404 permit authorizing the discharges. EPA issued an administrative order to Jay Peak in November 2010 and the company has worked cooperatively with EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in implementing a restoration plan for the site. Jay Peak has agreed to pay an $80,000 penalty for the violations. The Region will file the final consent agreement and final order upon conclusion of the public comment period.
