On November 3, 2020, Mr. Dave Erlanson, Sr. (“Respondent”) appealed from Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) Christine Donelian Coughlin’s Initial Decision and Order assessing a $6,600 penalty for discharging a pollutant from a point source into navigable waters, the South Fork Clearwater River in Idaho, in violation of Clean Water Act (“CWA”) section 301(a), 33 U.S.C. § 1311(a). In an earlier Accelerated Decision on liability, issued in September 2018, the ALJ found Respondent liable for the alleged violation. Respondent filed an appeal with the Environmental Appeals Board (“Board”).
