At all times relevant to the violations alleged herein (relevant time period), Respondent owned or operated the Cajun Heritage RV Park Water System, a public water system (PWS), as defined by Section 1401(4) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 300f(4), located in Breaux Bridge, St. Martin Parish Louisiana, (facility), designated as PWS number LA2099010. 3. During the relevant time period, Respondent's PWS was a "non-community water system", as defined by Section 1401(16) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 300f(16). Respondent's PWS is subject to the requirements of the Act and its implementing regulations, 40 C.F.R. Part 141. In the Matter of Shayne Hollier Cajun Heritage RV Park Water System LA2099010 Docket Number: SDWA-06-2023-1302 Page 1 of 4 4. Systems that have at least 15 service connections or regularly serve an average of at least 25 individuals per day at least 60 days per year are subject to the requirements of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 300g-1, and its implementing regulations, 40 C.F.R. Part 141. See 42 U.S.C. 300f and 40 C.F.R. 141.2. 5. As a PWS and a "supplier of water," the Cajun Heritage RV Park Water System serves approximately 450 people with 150 service connections. 6. During the relevant time period, Respondent's PWS was subject to the requirements of the Ground Water Rule (GWR) as set forth in 40 C.F.R. 141.400 - 141.405. 7. The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) administers the Public Water Supply Supervision Program in Louisiana pursuant to Section 1413 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 300g-2. LDH has primary enforcement responsibility for the GWR. LDH and EPA have consulted regarding this Order, and it was agreed that EPA would initiate this enforcement action. 8. Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. 141.401, a sanitary survey inspection was conducted by LDH on November 12, 2018 and April 19, 2022, to evaluate the source of water supply, pumps and pumping facilities, and management and operator qualifications. The following significant deficiencies were noted by LDH: a. Failure to submit plans and specifications to LDH for approval as part of permit to operate the PWS as a total chlorine (chloramine) system for Well #2 in accordance with LAC 51:XII.319.D.1 and 105.A-B,D. b. Failure to maintain a 24-mesh corrosion resistant screen on Well #2's casing vent to prevent the entrance of contaminants in accordance with LAC 51:XII.319.D.7. c. Failure to have all RV sites equipped with a dual check valve assembly to protect the water supply from potential contamination. 9. In a letter dated November 30, 2018 and May 3, 2022, LDH notified Respondent of the significant deficiencies and required Respondent to correct the significant deficiencies and provide written In the Matter of Shayne Hollier Cajun Heritage RV Park Water System LA2099010 Docket Number: SDWA-06-2023-1302 Page 2 of 4 notification to LDH of the completed corrective actions with ninety (90) days of receipt of the letter. Respondent violated 40 C.F.R. 141.403 by failing to address the significant deficiencies. 10. Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. 141.404(a), Respondent did not complete corrective action in accordance with any applicable State plan review processes or other State guidance and direction, including State specified interim actions and measures, nor is Respondent in compliance with a State-approved corrective action plan and schedule. Failure to meet these requirements is a violation of the Ground Water Rule treatment technique requirements. 11. Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. 141.203, PWSs must provide public notice of violations of treatment technique requirements as soon as practical, but no later than 30 days after the system learns of the violation. 12. In a letter dated August 5, 2022, LDH, notified the Respondent of the Ground Water Rule treatment technique requirement violation and of the requirement that Respondent provide public notice of the violation. Respondent failed to provide public notice of the treatment technique requirement violation in accordance with 40 C.F.R. 141.203. SECTION 1414(g) COMPLIANCE ORDER Based on the foregoing findings and pursuant to the authority of Section 1414(g) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 300g-3(g), EPA orders that Respondent immediately take the following actions: A.
