EPA v. San Miguel County
Case summary
Administrative Order (Order) issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6 (EPA) concerning San Miguel County's facility - San Miguel County Gravel Pit for failure to submit the required discharge monitoring reports (DMRs). The Administrative Orders were for violations of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Multi-Sector General Permit for Discharges from Industrial Activities. NMED is not delegated for the NPDES program, therefore the facilities applied for and were issued EPA NPDES Permits, ( permit ), which allow discharges of pollutants to waters of the United States, but only in compliance with the terms of the permit. The violations occurred from July 1, 2022, to September 30, 2025.
