DEQ issues $6,421 penalty to Solaicx for stormwater permit violations
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued a $6,421 civil penalty to Solaicx, Inc., for failing to comply with the monitoring requirements of their permit for the facility located at 7832 N. Leadbetter Rd., Portland, OR. The facility failed to collect monitoring data for iron in the 2015-2016 monitoring period.
DEQ issued the penalty because permittees are required to sample and monitor stormwater to ensure discharges meet the benchmarks set forth in their permit. The system that protects water quality in Oregon is highly dependent upon permittees complying with the monitoring requirements of the permits. Without consistent and accurate data, DEQ and the public can’t determine whether permittees are complying with pollutant limits.
