On December 19, 2023, EPA Region 3 issued an Administrative Order on Consent ( AOC ) to Frederick-Winchester Service Authority and Frederick County Sanitation Authority dba Frederick Water, the owner and operator, respectively, of the wastewater treatment plant located 130 Crappie Court, Front Royal, Virginia 22630 (the Facility ). The Facility experienced 67 effluent limit exceedances for nitrogen, chloride, E. coli, ammonia, biochemical oxygen demand, and total suspended solids. The Facility agreed to provide to EPA an Injunctive Relief Framework that includes the undertaking and completion of certain actions to bring the Facility back into compliance within the timeframes outlined in the AOC. The Facility is not in an area of EJ concern. EPA has consulted with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality during the development of this action.
