EPA v. Borden County Water System

Case summary

On March 16, 2016, EPA Region 6 issued an Administrative Order (AO) for Plan Implementation (AO Plan Implementation) to the Borden County (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 March 29, 2013, 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 Gail, TX. 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 or submit to EPA 1) a detailed plan to meet the fluoride MCL; 2) a cost analysis of the proposed plan; and 3) a construction schedule. This AO extends the compliance deadline to September 23, 2017 and supersedes the AO issued on March 29, 2013.
