Summary

On March 21, 2023, Region III issued an Administrative Orders on Consent (AOC) to Dickenson Public Service Authority (Dickenson) for failure to comply with the requirements of Section 1433 of the SDWA, as amended by the America's Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018. Section 1433 required that PWSs serving over 3,300 people conduct a Risk and Resilience Assessment (RRA) of the PWS including risks of malevolent acts and natural hazards. Within six months after the RRA, the PWS had to revise its emergency response plan (ERP) to address the RRA findings. Covered PWSs had to certify to EPA that they had conducted the RRA and revised the ERP by the deadlines specified by AWIA. EPA issued the AOC to Dickenson because it had not complied with these requirements. EPA directly implements the Section 1433 requirements but EPA has notified Virginia of the action against the facility.
