EPA v. Carpenter Advanced Ceramics

Unilateral Administrative Order Without Adjudication

Case summary

This is an Administrative Order pursuant to the Clean Water Act issued to Carpenter Advanced Ceramics, an industrial discharger into the Placer County sewers. Placer County does not have an approved pretreatment program and as such has not issued permits that apply the Clean Water Act's requirements to its industrial discharges. It is expected that Placer County will issue a permit within the next year. The violation involves the failure of Carpenter Advanced Ceramics to self-monitor to demonstrate compliance with the Clean Water Act. The Order directs Carpenter Advanced Ceramics to self-monitor for a year.
