The ESA will settle EPA’s allegations that the Respondent failed to comply with the NPDES Permit number MS004458, the CWA, and its implementing regulations in violation of the CWA Section 402, 33 U.S.C. § 1342, at its wastewater treatment facility located on 3079 Highway 49 Doddsville, Mississippi 38736.
