EPA v. DEER MOUNTAIN FIRE DISTRICT

Case summary

On May 7, 2013 , authorized EPA employees entered the Facility, with consent, to inspect it for compliance with the law. This inspection showed that the Facility has two bay wash areas and two floor drains in the bays. Both floor drains flow into an area west of the Facility fire building. On the same day, Respondent filled out an EPA Shallow Waste Disposal System Well Inventory Request form and indicated that waste fluids are stored and/or recycled at the Facility. Respondent is in violation by owning, operating or maintaining a ClassV Motor Vehicle Waste Disposal Well which, through injection activity, allows the movement of fluid containing any contaminant into underground sources of drinking water, if the presence of that contaminant may cause a violation of any primary drinking water regulation or may otherwise adversely affect the health of persons for operating a Class V Motor Vehicle Waste Disposal Well after the January 1, 2007 ban of all Class V Motor Vehicle Waste Disposal Wells.
