Summary

On July 5th, 2017, the Acting Division Director, Water Protection Division, issued an Administrative Order to Forest Park, EPA Docket No. SDWA-03-2017-0154DS for violations of the SDWA. According to records from the Delaware Health and Social Services (DHSS), Forest Park exceeded the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for nitrate, failed to deliver Consumer Confidence Reports (CCRs) and failed to notify the public of the system's monitoring and reporting violations, all of which may cause acute or chronic health effects. The system has a history of noncompliance with the MCL for nitrate, an acute contaminant. Prior to issuance of the AO, EPA worked with the state to ensure that the residents were notified of the elevated level of nitrate and the associated health effects. Under the Administrative Order, within 15 days, Respondent must provide EPA with a Compliance Plan that outlines the actions Respondent will take to address the nitrate violations, including completion dates. In addition, by July 1, 2017, Respondent must deliver the System's 2016 CCR to all customers and send copies of the System's CCR to DHSS and EPA as well as distribute the CCRs for 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 to all of its customers.
