OCTOBER 20,2022 - ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLIANCE ORDER
On April 14, 2022, staff from the EPA Direct Implementation (?DI?) Team referred the PWS to the EPA Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Division for alleged Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) monitoring and reporting (MR) violations that occurred in between October 2021 through April 2022.
On June 28, 2022, the EPA issued a Notice of Noncompliance (NONC) to Respondent, pursuant to Section 1414(a)(2)(B) of the SDWA, 42 U.S.C. ? 300g-3(a)(2)(B), to allow Respondent time to review the potential noncompliance and schedule a show-cause meeting to discuss their compliance status. According to U.S. Postal Service tracking records, the notice was available for pickup on June 30,
2022; however, the Respondent did not contact the EPA to schedule a show cause meeting.
Since a response from the Respondent was not received within the specified timeframe, two follow up calls were placed by ECAD to Respondent: one on July 20, 2022, and another on July 29, 2022. Respondent did not answer the calls, so the EPA left voicemails requesting that Respondent call the EPA back. The EPA did not receive any response to its voicemails.
The EPA placed a follow up call to Respondent on August 25, 2022, and spoke with Respondent, expressing the importance of picking up the NONC from the mail, reviewing it and calling back the EPA to arrange for a show cause meeting. A request for a show cause meeting was not received from Respondent.
