EPA v. AIRPORT EQUIPTMENT RENTAL INC (SDWA UIC)
Final Order With Penalty
Case summary
On September 26, 2019, Region 10 filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order resolving alleged violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act by AER, located in Delta Junction, Alaska. Respondent owns and operates an automotive repair shop in which Respondent conducts repair on motor vehicles. Respondent is alleged to be in violation of the regulations 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. AER has agreed to permanently close the injection wells and to pay a penalty of $57,100. Closure of the MVWDWs protects drinking water from potential motor vehicle contaminants.
