On January 17, 2024, EPA Region 10 filed an expedited settlement agreement resolving violations of the Construction General Permit by Northside 4 LLC, located in Vancouver, Washington. Northside 4 LLC is the owner and operator of the Northside Planned Unit Development Phase 4 construction site and failed to ensure stormwater controls are maintained and in operating condition, provide effective controls for concrete washout, and include items in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan as specified by the written standard. Since erosion leads to sediment and other pollutants entering Waters of the United States, EPA estimates that this action has helped reduce 224,621 lbs of sediment from discharging off-site and reaching Lacamas Creek. The Respondent has agreed to pay a penalty of $3,340 and has returned to compliance.
