Summary

Based on a CEI conducted in June 2004 and a follow up information request in June 2005 , CPR has a 2.5 acre site that is routinely cleared of all vegetation and near a waterbody. No storm water BMPs were in place to prevent the runoff of erosion and sediment to Las Lajas Creek. CPR claims that this is no �construction activity� because it is routine maintenance that is conducted twice per year to allow access to groundwater monitoring wells and for security purposes. Nonetheless, CPR�s Individual NPDES Permit requires that the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan contain sediment and erosion controls for the facility. CPR�s SWPPP did not contain any sediment and erosion controls for this 2.5 acre site and therefore they are violating the conditions of the Permit. This Order requires CPR to modify its SWPPP and include storm water BMPs for this 2.5 acre site.
