EPA v. Seward Body and Paint
Final Order With Penalty
Case summary
On September 25, 2018, Region 10 filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order resolving alleged violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act by Seward Body and Paint, located in Seward, Alaska. Respondent owns and operates an auto body repair shop, in which respondent conducts repair and painting on motor vehicles. Respondent is alleged to be in violation of the regulation protecting underground (groundwater) sources of drinking water from an injection well. Injection well activity can allow movement of fluid containing contaminants (such as wastewater from vehicle repair) into underground sources of drinking water. Motor Vehicle Waste Disposal Wells (MVWDWs) were banned in Alaska in August 2005. Additionally, Seward has agreed to pay a penalty of $500. Closure of the MVWDW protects drinking water from potential motor vehicle contaminants.
