EPA v. JACK BARRON

Case summary

On May 15, 2014, Region 10 signed an Administrative Order on Consent with Jack Barron to address Mr. Barron’s Clean Water Act violations. In May 2007, Jack Barron discharged rock and dredged and/or fill material into four acres of wetlands when clearing vegetation, dredging stream channels and a pond, drilling a well, and constructing a driveway/access road and house foundation. The wetlands provided important functions for nongame wildlife habitat, flood control, and especially water quality improvement (uptake and assimilation of nutrients and filtering of sediments). Despite discussions about permit requirements between the property owner and the Corps of Engineers, and the EPA, the work continued without a CWA Section 404 permit. The Order requires Mr. Barron restore designated areas of his property and obtain all required permits.
