EPA v. Cottonwood Acres Public Water System AO

Case summary

On December 4, EPA issued an order under section l414 of the SDWA to the Cottonwood Homeowners Association and its president based on violations of the MCL for uranium. A uranium MCL violation exists when the running annual average from four consecutive quarterly samples exceeds 30 micrograms per liter. The order requires the respondents to post public notices, update public notification quarterly as the long as the uranium MCL violation persists, provide EPA with a plan and schedule that outlines actions to address the current and future uranium contamination at the System, and perform any necessary corrective actions (e.g., install treatment to address the uranium contamination).
