On September 19, 2008, Region 10 issued a Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO), pursuant to the Clean Water Act to address violations by Don Brown and Brown Construction Company, Inc. At an inspection on October 29, 2004 at Brown?s sand and gravel mining facility, EPA noted that Brown had placed fill material into approximately 6.6 acres of wetlands adjacent to Two Moose Creek, a tributary of Anchor River, which is a tributary of Cook Inlet. In addition, Brown had failed to apply for industrial storm water permit coverage and was observed discharging turbid excavation-related groundwater into the creek. On April 20, 2005, EPA issued a compliance order requiring Brown to develop and implement a plan to remove the unauthorized fill, restore hydrology, restore wetland vegetation, develop a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, and apply for permit coverage under the Multi-Sector General Permit for Storm Water Discharges associated with Industrial Activities. In the CAFO, Brown agrees to pay a $19,000 penalty and to complete a SEP requiring the donation of 8.4 acres of property adjacent to the creek for conservation purposes.
