EPA v. PRASA Vega Baja WWTP
Unilateral Administrative Order Without Adjudication
Case summary
EPA finds that the Vega Baja WWTP is unable to meet the water quality based effluent limits set out in its NPDES permit and that PRASA/ONDEO is not maintaining and operating the facility adequately. This Administrative Order (AO) requires PRASA/CAPR to maximize the operation and maintenance of the Vega Baja WWTP in order to achieve and maintain compliance with all the final effluent limitations. In addition, this AO requires PRASA/ONDEO to submit a plan that outlines a schedule, for the completion of all permanent repairs/tasks needed to correct the deficiencies found during a compliance evaluation inspection conducted on December 9, 2003.
