Abstract
The United States Environmental Protection
Agency recently has undertaken several enforcement
initiatives with regard to the collection, conveyance and
treatment of wastewater by municipalities. Some of
these enforcement initiatives have been adopted by the
Georgia Environmental Protection Division. The result
has been penalties in the millions of dollars and capital
improvements in the billions of dollars. This paper
discusses the ongoing enforcement initiatives of the
United States Environmental Protection Agency and the
options available to local governments both to respond
to such actions and, preferably, to avoid such actions.
