Summary

On September 29, 2020, the Division Director of the Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Division (ECAD) issued two Administrative Orders on Consent ( AOC ) for violations of Section 301(a) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1311(a), on property located at Shannon Hill Road in Louisa County, Virginia. The AOC requires the owner, Frazier T. Boyd, III, (Respondents), to restore the forested wetlands at the Shannon Hill Road Site which was impacted as a result of clearing and grubbing activities on the Sites which resulted in unauthorized discharges to waters of the United States, including dredge or fill material, without a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (?Corps?) in violation of Section 404 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. ? 1344. The wetlands on the Site are waters of the U.S. The Site contains unnamed tributaries and wetlands that are abutting and have a direct surface water connection to unnamed tributaries of the South Anna River. The South Anna River is a tributary of the Pamunkey River, which is Navigable-in-Fact for its entirety. Therefore, the wetlands on the Site abutting the unnamed tributaries, the unnamed tributaries, and the South Anna River are all ?waters of the United States? within the meaning of Section 502(7) of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 1362(7); 40 C.F.R. 232.2; 40 C.F.R. ? 122.2. This matter was referred to EPA by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VADEQ).
