EPA v. Klondike Independent School District

Case summary

On June 20, 2016, EPA Region 6 issued an Administrative Order for Plan Implementation (AO Plan Implementation) to the Klondike Independent School District (Respondent). Respondent has requested additional time to complete the construction schedule. The AO incorporates the new construction schedule compliance and the deadline extension request submitted by the Respondent in their compliance plan. On February 14, 2014, EPA Region 6 issued the original AO to Respondent for violations at its water system in Lamesa. The Original AO was issued in response to violations of the fluoride maximum contaminant level (MCL). The Original AO required Respondent to comply immediately with the referenced MCL for fluoride or to submit to EPA 1) a detailed plan to meet the fluoride; 2) a cost analysis of the proposed plan; and 3) a construction schedule. This AO extends the compliance deadline to December 31, 2016 and supersedes the AO issued on February 14, 2014.
