EPA v. City of Opdyke West

Case summary

On March 28, 2017, EPA Region 6 issued an Administrative Order for Plan Implementation (AO Plan Implementation) to the City of Opdyke West (Respondent). City of Opdyke West has requested additional time with the construction schedule. The AO incorporates the new construction schedule and the deadline extension request submitted by the Respondent in their compliance plan. On July 19, 2011, EPA Region 6 issued the original AO to Respondent for violations at its water system in Levelland. 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 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 March 31, 2018, and supersedes the AO issued on July 19, 2011.
