The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has established Water Quality Standards and Criteria for boron to protect the environment. 38 Outfall 021 discharges pollution to Little Blue Run Stream, a small stream that runs approximately 1,200 feet directly from the impoundment to Mill Creek, which runs another 500 feet before emptying into the Ohio River. 39
Water 'flow in the Lilac Blue Run Stream is eomposed primwily of discharges from the Impoundment, which is the only source that releaser pollution into the strcam; therefore, all boron pollution in this stream is caused by discharges from the impoundment. ° The chronic PA WQC for aquatic life for boron is 1,600 ug/1 and the arse criterion is 8,100 ng/1.- 41
For every single quarter for the last five years of available data, iFirstEnergy's own reports reveal concentrations of boron at the Little Blue Run Stream surface water monitoring location immediately adjacent to and downstream of Outfall 021 (SW-3) higher than the chronic PA WQC for aquatic life for boron. 42 in fact, FirstEnergy discharged such high levels of boron that, in the past five years of available data, concentrations of boron exceeded the acute WQC for aquatic life at SW-3 in 9 of 20 quarters." Furthermore, in its most recent NPDES permit application, FirstEnergy reports discharging boron from Ow fall 021 at concentrations as high as 1,660 ptg/I, which exceeds the chronic PA WQC for this' pollutant. 44
FirstEnergy has discharged, and continues to discharge, boron from Outfall 021 at concentrations high enough to "cause or contribute to an impact on aquatic life or pose a substantial hazard to the environment" in violation of its NPDES Permit, the Clean Water Act, and the Clean Streams Law. Each day FirstEnergy discharged boron from Outfall 021 at levels that violate the NPDES Permit in the last five years, each day in each quarter that FirstEnergy reports boron concentrations above PA WQC at SW-3 in the last five years, and all future discharges within these parameters is a separate violation of the Clean Water Act and the Clean Streams Law.
III. RCRA AND CS!, VIOLATIONS
FirstEnergy's own monitoring data show that the Impoundment itself and the seeps and surface water on the West Virginia side of the impoundment may present an imminent and substantial endangerment to human health and the environment, violating RCRA. 45 In addition, the impoundment is discharging pollutants to groundwater in Pennsylvania without a permit,
