On September 16, 2016, Region 10 filed a consent agreement and final order resolving violations of the Clean Water Act by Pacific Steel & Recycling, Inc. in Ponderay, Idaho. Respondent, which operates a recycling depot and sells new steel products, failed to follow conditions of the EPA Stormwater Multi-Sector General Permit, including Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan deficiencies, failures to monitor, and failures to review control measures or add corrective actions. The company reported that the inspection and subsequent enforcement action resulted in actions to improve compliance at all branches of the company. At the Ponderay facility, the company doubled the number of monthly sweeping activities which reduced zinc concentrations to a compliant level and also reduced the concentration of other metals in the facility's industrial stormwater runoff. The company agreed to pay a penalty of $19,618.
