EPA v. C.F. GOLLOTT AND SON SEAFOOD, INC.

Case summary

20210120 - ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLIANCE ORDER ON CONSENT ISSUED. ALLEDGED VIOLATIONS On January 31, 2020, Gollott, through its counsel, submitted a response to the EPA?s January 9, 2020 CEI Report. On or about April 1, 2020, the EPA sent a Notice of Potential Violations (NOPV) to Gollott for potential violations identified during the CEI. The NOPV noted potential effluent limitation violations of the 2014 NPDES Permit. Specifically, Gollott violated the effluent limitations for Biochemical Oxygen Demand, 5-day (BOD5), Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Oil and Grease as indicated in the discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) during the period covering April 1, 2017, through March 31, 2020. On August 10, 2020, the EPA and representatives of Gollott held a conference call to discuss the exceedances of the new permit effluent limitations. Gollott confirmed that it exceeded the BOD5 effluent limitation for the Monthly Average in June 2020, which was the first month?s monitoring under the new, 2020 NPDES Permit. On August 21, 2020, counsel for Gollott provided a letter documenting the information in Paragraph 12 above, as well as providing the latest correspondence between Gollott and the City of D?Iberville, Mississippi discussing the proposal to discharge the bin weep water to the City?s sewer system. Gollott has violated Section 301(a) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. ? 1311(a), in that Gollott has discharged pollutants to navigable waters not in compliance with its 2014 NPDES Permit for BOD5, TSS, and Oil and Grease. Gollott has also been in violation of the 2020 NPDES Permit for BOD5 since June 2020. Gollott has violated the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements Section of the 2014 NPDES Permit, issued pursuant to Section 402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. ? 1342, by discharging pollutants into the Back Bay of Biloxi in excess of the limitations established in its 2014 NPDES Permit for BOD5, TSS, and Oil and Grease. Gollott has violated the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements Section of the 2020 NPDES Permit, issued pursuant to Section 402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. ? 1342, by discharging pollutants into the Back Bay of Biloxi in excess of the limitations established in its 2020 NPDES Permit for BOD5. Based on the above, the EPA finds that Gollott is in violation of Section 301(a) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. ? 1311(a), and the above referenced provisions of its 2014 NPDES Permit and its 2020 NPDES Permit.
