EPA v. South Meadows

Case summary

Site not in compliance with their Construction General Permit (CGP) and the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) program, in accordance with the Clean Water Act (CWA). The inspector observed evidence of sediment discharge offsite into the City of Melissa?s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) through multiple stormwater inlets on-site. Additionally, off-site sediment discharge was observed beyond the northern perimeter of the site and into the nearby freshwater pond and vegetation area located southeast of the Sumeer Elementary School. The inspector discussed the Areas of Concern (AOC) observed during the inspection with the operator and their environmental consultants. Due to the observed off-site sediment discharge from the site and impacts to the receiving waters beyond the site boundaries, an AO was issued to the site to ensure compliance with their stormwater permit.
