SUMMARY: EPA is providing notice of a

the proposed penalty and the

opportunity for a hearing, and after

providing interested persons notice of

the proposed penalty and a reasonable

opportunity to comment on its issuance.

Under section 309(g), any person who

without authorization discharges a

pollutant to a navigable water, or who

has violated the conditions of a National

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

permit, as those terms are defined in

section 502 of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 1362,

may be assessed a penalty in a ‘‘Class
