Summary

On March 6, 2018, EPA Region III and the City of Altoona, Pennsylvania amicably resolved alleged Clean Water Act violations of the City's MS4 Permit, which is significant due to the myriad of pollutants conveyed by stormwater and therefore affecting both human health and the environment. To resolve the matter, EPA Region III and the City entered into a Super Consent Agreement and Final Order (SCAFO) and an Administrative Order for Compliance on Consent (AOCC), docket numbers CWA-03-2018-0011 and CWA-03-2018-0012DN, respectively. The SCAFO, which simultaneously initiates and resolves the matter, requires the City to pay a monetary penalty of seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500). The AOCC requires the City to take specific actions to remedy the issues raised by the inspection, including: (1) development of a written program for inspection of illicit discharges; (2) development of a written program for inspection of post-construction stormwater BMPs; (3) development of a written program for inspection of municipal stormwater BMPs; (4) documentation of a green infrastructure project (a community rain garden). Representatives from PADEP accompanied EPA on its inspection and EPA notified PADEP of this enforcement action.
