Violation 2. The culpability multiplier is decreased at 0.9. A lower culpability is appropriate because the discharge was not the result of failure to maintain or operate any water pumps, but happened due to heavy storm of up to 3.31 inches of precipitation during the incident week for the San Xxxx proximity. The discharge involved stormwater associated with industrial activity flowing into Ponds 19 and 20, and ultimately discharged to Permanente Creek from Discharge Point No. 005. Normally, industrial stormwater runoff flows into the Cement Plant Reclaimed System and is stored in Pond 11 for consumptive use. However, during the storm, stormwater runoff from adjacent areas comingled with the industrial stormwater and both flows overwhelmed a constructed berm and overflowed into the ponds and discharged to Permanente Creek. As a corrective action measure, Lehigh increased the length and height of the constructed berm so such circumstance does not repeat in the future.
Violation 2. The Complaint alleged that Caltrans violated Caltrans Storm Water Permit Section A.6, General Discharge Prohibition, by discharging earthen materials in quantities which cause deleterious bottom deposits, turbidity or discoloration in waters of the State which unreasonably affect or threaten to affect beneficial uses of such waters when it discharged 822,701 gallons of turbid storm water over a period of 24 days during seven QREs between 22 October 2012 and 27 December 2012.
Violation 2. OFCCP found that the Contractor is not in compliance with 41 C.F.R. §§ 60-2.12(a) and (b). Specifically, the Contractor constructs job groups at the corporate level and not by individual establishment. As a result, job groups within the San Diego AAP contain few employees, and in many instances only one employee. For example, there were 11 job groups within the 2015 AAP that had only one employee. Twenty-five job groups had fewer than five (5) employees.

Violation 2. The risk or threat of the discharge is moderate (2). “Moderate” is assigned when the chemical and/or physical characteristics of the discharged material have some level of toxicity or pose a moderate level of threat to potential receptors. The Discharger installed a 12-inch plastic pipe to route stormwater from the Active Landfill area directly to Stream 1. Regional Water Board staff observed leachate mixing with stormwater runoff before it entered into the 12-inch plastic pipe and discharged into Stream 1.33 Although the Discharger did not characterize the discharge as the Industrial General Permit requires,34 the concentration of leachate contaminants likely decreased upon mixing with the stormwater, reducing the toxicity of the discharged material to “moderate.” Data from stormwater sampled at other areas of the Facility on April 25, 2019, may not represent the discharge from the 12-inch plastic pipe. It is unknown if leachate polluted those stormwater samples. They were collected approximately 2,000 and 2,500 feet away from the 12-inch plastic pipe and were analyzed for Industrial General Permit constituents (aluminum, iron, lead zinc, total suspended solids, and chemical oxygen demand), not leachate.

Violation 2. The Regional Board alleges that Xxxxxx violated Construction General Permit Attachment D, Provision E.6 by not properly maintaining storm water BMPs for a period of twelve days in September and October 2014.
Violation 2. The Prosecution Team alleges that the City violated WDRs Order R5-2014-0007 Attachment D, Provision I.D by failing to properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control to achieve compliance with the conditions of the WDRs. This violation occurred when the City failed to operate the DAF pressurization unit in a manner that would prevent the wastewater from bypassing the filtration and UV disinfection portions of the Facility.
Violation 2. The City’s discharge of 820,000 gallons of raw sewage from the SLRWRF to Pilgrim Creek and Windmill Creek on April 10, 2020, was in violation of Clean Water Act section 301 and Water Code section 13376. The SLRWRF discharge was also in violation of Order No. R9-2019-0166 Discharge Prohibitions described in Section III.A and Section III.D and operational specifics described in Section VI.C.4.b-d. Per the Enforcement Policy9, these violations were consolidated into a single base liability amount for the SLRWRF discharge.
