On June 6, 2019, EPA identified that the Respondent owned construction site failed to obtain SPDES permit coverage for construction activities that began on or prior to May 10, 2019 and at that time had disturbed greater than 5 acres of soil without prior approval from the NYSDEC or the MS4. Stormwater discharges associated with the Site, enter the Mohawk River via the Town of Glenville?s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). The Site obtained SPDES permit coverage on June 5, 2019 and at the time of the inspection, had seeded and mulched portions of the Site to reduce the disturbed acreage below 5 acres. The penalty has been calculated at $4,500 utilizing the Expedited Settlement Offer Worksheet and Respondent has agreed to the $4,500 settlement. This inspection was conducted in conjunction with an MS4 Audit of the Town. NYSDEC representatives accompanied EPA on the inspection and are supportive of this action.
