EPA v. BROUKHAUS MOBILE HOME PARK WATER SYSTEM

Case summary

THE BROUKHOUS MOBILE HOME PARK IS A PUBLIC WATER SYSTE SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT, 42 U.S.C. SECT 300F TO 300J-26, AND THE NATIONAL PRIMARY DRINKING WATER REGULATIONS AT 40 C.F.R. PART 141. FROM APRIL 1991 THROUGH THE PRESENT, THE GYNA NOE HAS VIOLATED REGULATORY PROVISIONS REQUIRING THE SYSTEM (1) TO TAKE SAMPLES AND SUBMIT THEM TO AN APPROVED LABORATORY FOR TOTAL COLIFORM BACTERIA TO BE ANALYZED AND (2) TO PERFORM PUBLIC NOTICE FOR VIOLATIONS OCCURRING AT THE BROUKHAUS MOBILE HOME PARK WATER SYSTEM. ON JAN 31, 1992, EPA REGION 6 ISSUED AN ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER TO BLYNA NOE AND THE WATER SYSTEM WHICH REQUIRED COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS OF THE SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT. MS. NOE HAS VIOLATED THE ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS BY FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE ROUTINE TOTAL COLIFORM SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS FROM MAY 1992 TO THE PRESENT. THESE VIOLATIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER RESULTED IN EPA REGION 6 ISSUING A COMPLAINT FOR PENALTY AND NOTICE OF OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING IN AN EFFORT TO PENALIZE THE WATER SYSTEM. MS. NOE FAILED TO CLAIM THE COMPLAINT WHEN IT WAS MAILED TO HER CERTIFIED. BECAUSE MS. NOE HAD ALSO FAILED TO CLAIM THE ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER WHEN IT WAS SENT BY CERTIFIED MAIL, THE COMPLAINT WAS REMAILED TO MS. NOE UNCERTIFIED AND MS. NOE WAS REQUIRED TO CALL THE EPA REGION 6 OFFICE UPON RECEIPT OF THE COMPLAINT. TO DATE, MS. NOE HAS NOT CONTACTED EPA. THIS CASE IS REFERRED FOR CIVIL ACTION BECAUSE MS. NOE HAS NOT RESPONDED TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMEENT PROCESS AND CONTINUES TO VIOLATE NATIONAL PRIMARY DRINKING WATER REGULATIONS AS THEY APPLY FOR COLIFORM BACTERIA. ADDRESS: GLYNA NOE 800 N.
