EPA v. ARCADIA, FLORIDA, CITY OF (WILLIAM TYSON WWTP)

Case summary

NATURE OF THE CASE: THE CITY OF ARCADIA, DESOTA COUNTY FL OWNS & OPERATES THE WILLIAM TYSON WWTP LOCATED IN ARCADIA, FL. ARCADIA'S COLLECTION & TREATMENT SYSTEMS SERVE BOTH THE CITY & SOME UNINCORPORATED AREAS. AS OF 1984, THERE WERE 2,000 SERVICE CONNECTIONS TO THE CITY'S WWT SYSTEM. THE MAJOR ISSUE ADDRESS- ED BY THIS ACTION IS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ENFORCEABLE SCHEDULE WHICH WILL ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE W/ACRADIA'S NPDES PER MIT BY NO LATER THAN JULY 1, 1988. THE DATE OF JULY 1, 1988, IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE MUNICIPALITIES SHOULD BE IN COMPLI- ANCE W/THE CWA BY JULY 1, 1988. OTHER THAN ASSURING COMPLI- ANCE W/THE CWA & MUNICIPAL POLICY, EPA IS NOT AWARE OF ANY NATIONAL PRECEDENTIAL SIGNIFICANCE.
