On July 19, 2011, 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 Ellinger, TX. The Original AO was issued in response to violations of the arsenic 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 arsenic MCL; 2) a cost analysis of the proposed plan; and 3) a construction schedule.
