EPA v. SKANSKA FACCHINA JOINT VENTURE

Case summary

On July 1, 2015, EPA Region III issued a Final Order to Skanska Facchina Joint Venture (SFJV), resolving CWA violations of EPA's General Permit for discharges of stormwater associated with construction activities at SFJV's Washington, D.C. construction site known as the 11th Street Corridor Project, which included the replacement of two bridges over the Anacostia River in Washington, DC. During a February 2013 inspection of the 11th Street Corridor Project construction site, EPA found that SFJV had failed to ensure that two storm drain inlets were properly maintained and failed to minimize the exposure to storm water of several petroleum products stored in containers at the site. In the Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) which initiated and resolved this matter, SFJV agreed to pay a $10,000 penalty for the construction permit violations. The CAFO received no comments during the required 40-day public comment period.
