## Summary

On December 4, 2017, Region 10 filed a consent agreement and final order resolving violations of the Clean Water Act by the City of Nezperce, Idaho.  Respondent, which operates a wastewater treatment plant, exceeded its NPDES permit limits for E. coli, total suspended solids (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total residual chlorine (TRC), and pH.
