This case involves storm water and non-storm water discharge violations under the Clean Water Act (CWA or the Act), 33 U.S.C. ? 1251 et seq., from the Buenos Aires Community Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (the Buenos Aires Community MS4), located in the west side of the Municipality of Arecibo?s urbanized area and the La Puntilla Pump Station (the La Puntilla PS), located at Girau Street, in the Buenos Aires Community, of Arecibo, Puerto Rico.
In the short term, EPA seeks to eliminate all non-storm water discharges, such as sewage, to waters of the United States from existing cross-connections between the Buenos Aires Community MS4 and PRASA?s SSS. In the long term, EPA seeks to ensure Defendant?s future compliance with the terms and conditions of its NPDES Small MS4 General Permit throughout the entire municipality. Defendant will also pay a civil penalty.
