EPA v. Marina PDR Operations, LLC

Case summary

Respondent is in violation of Sections 301 and 402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1311 and 1342 for failure to apply for the NPDES 2008 MSGP and discharged storm water associated with industrial activities from a Marina without a permit to waters of the US. Under the settlement, the Respondent has agreed to pay a civil penalty. Prior to the issuance of the complaint, EPA brought the Respondent into compliance by issuing the company an administrative compliance order, pursuant to which the Respondent obtained coverage under the 2015 NPDES MSGP for its storm water runoff. The corrective measures, taken by the Respondent under the compliance order, led to an estimated reduction of total suspended solids, aluminum, and iron from commingling with storm water run-off from the facility into the Caribbean Sea.
