Deyma Davila Dey's RV and Mobile Park 920 Southeast 401 Andrews, TX 79714-6200
Re: PWS ID Number: TX0020015 Administrative Order; Docket Number: SDWA-06-2022-1295
Dear Ms. Davila:
Enclosed is an Administrative Order (Order) issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6 (EPA) concerning the Dey s RV and Mobile Park Public Water System (PWS). The Order requires Deyma Davila (Respondent) to comply with the provisions set forth in the attached Order. The EPA requests that the Respondent immediately confirm receipt of this Order by a response email to moore.jessica@epa.gov.
This Order is being issued to the Respondent for violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act (Act), 42 U.S.C. 300f, et seq., and its implementing regulations, 40 C.F.R. Part 141. The EPA finds that the Respondent owns or operates a PWS identified in the Order and is therefore subject to the Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR). The Order also requires the Respondent to complete the corrective actions identified through a Level 1 assessment conducted following a trigger event per the RTCR, and submit documentation of the corrective actions to EPA and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
This Order does not assess a monetary penalty; however, it does require compliance with the RTCR as set forth in 40 C.F.R. 141.851-141.861. Please be aware that failure to comply with this Order may subject the PWS to additional enforcement action by EPA, including the initiation of legal proceedings to seek monetary penalties.
If you need assistance, or have questions regarding this Order, please contact Jessica Moore, of my staff, at (214) 665-6495.
Sincerely,

Docket No. SDWA-06-2022-1295, PWS ID # TX0020015
STATUTORY AUTHORITY
The following findings are made, and an Administrative Order issued, under the authority vested in the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), by Section 1414(g) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (the Act), 42 U.S.C. 300g-3(g). The Administrator delegated the authority to issue this Order to the Regional Administrator of EPA Region 6, who delegated such authority to the Director of the Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Division.
FINDINGS
1. Deyma Davila (Respondent) is a "person," as defined by Section 1401(12) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 300f(12).
2. At all times relevant to the violations alleged herein (relevant time period), Respondent owned or operated a public water system (PWS), as defined by Section 1401(4) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 300f(4), located in Andrews County, Andrews, Texas (facility), designated as PWS number TX0020015.
3. During the relevant time period, Respondent's PWS served as a "community water system," as defined by Section 1401(16) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 300f(16) and is subject to the requirements of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 300g1, and its implementing regulations, 40 C.F.R. Part 141.

5. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) administers the Public Water Supply Supervision Program in Texas pursuant to Section 1413 of the Act. TCEQ has not yet obtained primary enforcement responsibility for the RTCR; therefore, EPA has primary responsibility for enforcement of the RTCR.
6. During the October 2020 monitoring period, Respondent's PWS had multiple total coliform positive results, which is a trigger event as specified in 40 C.F.R. 141.859(a)(1)(i).
7. By having one trigger events under 40 C.F.R. 141.859(a)(1)(i) within a rolling 12-month period,
Respondent is required to conduct a Level 1 assessment within 30 days after exceeding the trigger requiring such assessment as specified in 40 C.F.R. 141.859(a)(2). The Level 1 assessment is required in order to identify the possible presence of sanitary defects and defects in the distribution system or coliform monitoring practices.
8. Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. 141.859(c), each owner or operator of a PWS that has had a corrective action identified through a Level 1 assessment completed per 40 C.F.R. 141.859(b), must address the corrective action(s) identified in compliance with a timetable identified by TCEQ.
9. Respondent violated 40 C.F.R. 141.859(c) by failing to submit documentation of the type of disinfectant used and four consecutive weeks of the most recent disinfectant residuals above the required minimum in compliance with a timetable identified by TCEQ.
