EPA v. GARDEN CITY

Case summary

MARCH 20, 2024 - ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLIANCE ORDER On January 8, 2024, the EPA completed an onsite inspection of Respondent?s public water system. During the January 8, 2024, onsite inspection, the EPA requested that Respondent produce its RRA and ERP, which it was required to maintain pursuant to Section 1433(d) of the SDWA. While the Respondent was able to produce its RRA at the time of inspection, it could not produce its ERP and has been unable to produce the ERP to date, despite having certified completion of the ERP to the EPA. Therefore, the EPA alleges that Respondent is in noncompliance with Section 1433(b) of the SDWA, 42 U.S.C. ? 300i-2(b), for failure to develop and certify an ERP that incorporates the findings of the RRA. Based on the foregoing FINDINGS, and pursuant to the authority of Section 1414(g) of the SDWA, 42 U.S.C. ? 300g-3(g), the EPA is issuing this Order to place the Respondent on an enforceable schedule to comply with Section 1433 of the SDWA, 42 U.S.C. ? 300i-2. The EPA hereby ORDERS: Within 30 days of the Effective Date of this Order, Respondent shall develop an ERP which includes all of the requirements listed in Paragraph 9 of this Order. Within 30 days of the Effective Date of this Order, Respondent shall schedule a meeting with EPA to present evidence of the completed ERP. At the time of the meeting and in the presence of EPA, Respondent shall also submit evidence of its certification for the completion of its ERP, as required by Section 1433(b) of the SDWA, to the EPA Administrator.
