EPA v. U.S. Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority

Case summary

EPA and the Respondent have committed to an Administrative Order on Consent, which includes a plan of action to address certain conditions in one of the sewer lines of the Anguilla Waste Water Treatment Plant. The Order on Consent will improve the operation and maintenance measures undertaken by the Respondent at this sewer line, which will enhance the way that wastewater flows through the sewer line and could reduce hydrogen sulfide odors. The Order on Consent requires VIWMA to submit to EPA a detailed plan of corrective measures that will be implemented to mitigate and address any issues at the Anguilla sewer line. In addition, the Respondent will conduct a comprehensive survey of the Anguilla sewer line and share its results with EPA. The Respondent has already started to take some of these corrective measures.
