The EPA has finalized a rule requiring facilities with Hazardous Substances (listed in 40 CFR 117.3) prepare and submit a Facility Response Plan for worst case discharges if: -The onsite quantity is 1000x’s greater than the reportable quantity. -The facility is within .5 miles of a navigable waterway or conveyance. -And the hazardous substance is capable of causing harm to public water systems, fish/wildlife/sensitive environments, and/or injury to public receptors. The rule is based on “adverse weather conditions, including extreme weather conditions due to climate change.” Regulated facilities must submit response plans to the #epa within 36 months of the effective date. For your convenience, the new rule requirements start on page 116 of 159. The standard number when posted in the federal register will be 40 CFR 118. https://lnkd.in/gzRhn8JE

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reached a settlement with an industrial construction company in Ohio for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act, with the company facing $60,541 in penalties. The settlement is intended to resolve alleged stormwater discharge violations under the CWA, with the company having failed to conduct copper and chloride monitoring in industrial stormwater discharge and having no stormwater control measures in place. In addition to the penalties, the company must also develop and implement stormwater control measures at the site. Maintaining compliance with the CWA is a vital element of any organization's environmental responsibilities. ERA's Water Management System provides the tools to tackle Discharge Monitoring Reporting, NPDES, and other key aspects of discharge monitoring and reporting.

1moAs a Maine Water customer in Old Orchard Beach, I salute your efforts with thanks. It must be a great feeling for both producers and customers knowing that the system is lead free. There is a big difference between saying “We are quite sure” to “we are 99.9% sure” [never discount probability]. This national effort will enable appropriate federal/state funds to be directed to lead pipe mitigation.
