EPA v. DAVE'S AUTO

Case summary

On May 21, 2024, the Regional Judicial Officer approved an expedited settlement agreement with Dave's Automotive Enterprises of Marlborough, New Hampshire resolving alleged violations of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act. An EPA inspection of the facility revealed that the facility's stormwater discharges were neither authorized by an individual National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit nor the NPDES Multi-Sector General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity (MSGP). The company promptly worked towards obtaining MSGP coverage. The settlement requires that the company pay a $10,000 penalty. The Region worked in coordination with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services on this case.
