EPA v. LaFarge Building Materials, Inc.

Case summary

Administrative Compliance Order addresses numeric effluent violations of Respondent's SPDES Discharge Permit. These violations were originally referred to DOJ under the Lafarge North America CD, but the Ravena facility was withdrawn from the CD during settlement negotiations with the understanding that its significant effluent violations would be addressed administratively. Injunctive relief includes capital costs for installing and maintaining BMPs, one-time fees associated with engineering and design work, and annual recurring costs related to the operation and maintenance of BMPs for one year.
