Sent via email & certified Mail (dated as indicated on electronic signature) ORDER FOR COMPLIANCE The City of Quincy Paul Costello 1305 Hancock St Quincy, MA 02169 RE: In the Matter of the City of Quincy MAR05J06Q Order for Compliance under Section 309 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1319), Docket No. CWA-AO-R01-FY25-40 Dear Permittee Contact: This Order results from the failure of the City of Quincy NPDES ID MAR05J06Q to meet its reporting obligations under its NPDES permit. Your permit was authorized under the MultiSector General Permit. Facilities subject to the monitoring requirements are required to submit their sampling results to EPA electronically using EPA's NetDMR system no later than 30 days after receiving their complete laboratory results. Facilities which do not have a discharge or who are unable to to obtain a sample during the monitoring period must similarly use NetDMR to submit their Discharge Monitoring Reports (''DMRs'') with the appropriate ''no data indicator'' or ''NODI'' code to EPA no later than 30 days after the end of the monitoring reporting period. Your facility, known as Town River Marina, located at 674 Southern Artery, Quincy MA 02169, has not submitted all DMRs due under the permit. The failure to submit DMRs as required by your NPDES permit prevents EPA and the public from knowing if permit-authorized discharges are meeting permit requirements established to ensure water quality in receiving waters is not unduly impacted by pollutants. Specifically, t h e City of Quincy has failed to submit the following DMRs: Permit Name The City of Quincy The City of Quincy The City of Quincy The City of Quincy The City of Quincy The City of Quincy The City of Quincy The City of Quincy The City of Quincy The City of Quincy The City of Quincy The City of Quincy NPDES ID MAR05J06Q MAR05J06Q MAR05J06Q MAR05J06Q MAR05J06Q MAR05J06Q MAR05J06Q MAR05J06Q MAR05J06Q MAR05J06Q MAR05J06Q MAR05J06Q Monitoring Period End Date 03/31/2023 06/30/2023 06/30/2023 09/30/2023 12/31/2023 12/31/2023 12/31/2023 03/31/2024 06/30/2024 09/30/2024 12/31/2024 12/31/2024 Monitoring Period Start Date 1/1/23 1/1/23 4/1/23 7/1/23 1/1/23 7/1/23 10/1/23 1/1/24 4/1/24 7/1/24 1/1/24 10/1/24 Perm Feature ID 001 001 001 001 001 001 001 001 001 001 001 001 Limit Set Designator Q1 PX Q1 Q1 IW PX Q1 Q1 Q1 Q1 IW Q1 Under Section 309(a)(3) of the Clean Water Act (''Act'') the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (''EPA''), has the authority to issue orders requiring persons to comply with Sections 301 and 308 of the Act and any permit condition or limitation implementing any NPDES permit.
