EPA v. Klondike ISD

Case summary

On June 2, 2016, EPA Region 6 issued an Administrative Order (AO) for Plan Implementation (AO Plan Implementation) to the Klondike Independent School District (ISD)(Respondent). Respondent requested additional time to complete the construction schedule. The AO incorporates the new construction schedule deadline extension request submitted by the Respondent in their compliance plan. On December 11, 2012, EPA Region 6 issued the original Administrative Order (AO) under its authority pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act to Respondent for violations at its water system in Lamesa, TX. The Original AO was issued in response to violations of the nitrate maximum contaminant level (MCL). The Original AO required Respondent to comply immediately with the referenced MCL or submit to EPA 1) a detailed plan to meet the nitrate MCL; 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 December 11, 2012.
