Prepare the facts for a response to a Clean Water Act compliance order
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Extract the violation the order states, the date it requires, and the facts in the client file that address that violation. Write no sentence of the response.
- What the lawyer must review
- 33 USC section 1319 authorises the Administrator to issue a compliance order. The order must be served personally, must state the violation with reasonable specificity, and must set a time for compliance not exceeding 30 days for a violation of an interim compliance schedule or an operation and maintenance requirement, and a time the Administrator finds reasonable for a final deadline. A copy goes to the state. The Administrator may also sue for an injunction. You write the response. If a paper is filed in the action, Rule 11 is your certification. Opinion 512: no generated citation goes in the response.
