## Summary

EPA alleges that the City of Fall River failed to take required measures to detect and eliminate illicit discharges ( IDDE ) under EPA’s NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems  ( Small MS4 Permit ).  The Permit requires that permittees develop, implement and enforce a program to reduce the discharge of pollutants from municipal separate storm sewer systems to the maximum extent practicable and satisfy the water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act (“CWA”) and state water quality standards.  EPA took an administrative penalty action against the City on 8/12/09 and resolved the matter on 3/9/10.  The City agreed to pay a penalty of $4,250 and conduct a supplemental environmental project worth at least $35,395.
