The Respondent is a permitted MS4 in Vestal, NY. An MS4 Audit was conducted from April 26 - 27, 2012 and identified that the Respondent was not complying with the terms and conditions of the NYSDEC MS4 General Permit. Permit violations ranged from failure to fully develop and implement an IDDE program, a construction stormwater program, and a pollution prevention / good housekeeping program for municipal operations. An Administrative Order was issued on January 29, 2013 to order the University to comply with the requirements of the NYSDEC MS4 General Permit.. Compliance with the Administrative Order was determined as a result of correspondence received from the University in response to the Administrative Order. Once compliance was determined, EPA assessed a penalty.
Final penalty was determined after negotiations with Respondent.
