Summary

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 5, is providing notice of intent to execute an Expedited Settlement Agreement (ESA) with PCS Nitrogen, L.P. (“Respondent”) for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act (CWA). EPA alleges that Respondent discharged industrial stormwater from its facility to the Ottawa River, in violation of the Respondent’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit (“Permit”), in violation of the Section 301 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1311.

EPA and Respondent have agreed that Respondent will pay a civil penalty of $5,859.00. Full payment of the penalty will resolve Respondent’s liability for federal civil penalties for the violation alleged in the ESA.
