EPA v. VALHALLA COUNTRY ESTATES

Case summary

Region 10 filed an expedited settlement agreement resolving violations of the Construction General Permit by KCRJ LLC (?Owner?), located in Middleton, Idaho. Respondent, owner and operator of the Valhalla Country Estates project construction site, failed to comply with updating the SWPPP and failed to maintain best management practices such as erosion and sediment control measures. Since erosion leads to sediment and other pollutants entering Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS), the environmental benefit of this action reduces 13,881 pounds of sediment from stormwater. The Respondent agrees to pay a penalty of $3,300.
