EPA v. Denali National Park and Preserve (FF)

Case summary

On January 16, 2014, Region 10 filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) with the National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, the owner and operator of one motor vehicle waste disposal well (MVWDW) located at the Denali National Park and Preserve, Denali Park, Alaska that was constructed after April 5, 2000. The UIC regulations prohibit the construction of any MVWDW on or after April 5, 2000 and require that any MVWDW which was operational or under construction on April 5, 2000 be closed by January 1, 2005. The NPS has now permanently closed the well. Because the closure work has been completed, the CAFO is for a penalty only and requires the NPS to pay a $5,577 penalty for constructing and operating a MVWDW after April 5, 2000.
