The Complaint filed by the United States pursuant to sections 301 and 309 of the Clean Water Act (“Act”), 33 U.S.C. 1311 and 1319 alleges that during the period November, 1994 through January 1998, at its magnesium-based chemical manufacturing facility in Manistee, Michigan, Morton discharged into Manistee Lake effluent which failed to comply with the effluent limits of its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit, in violation of its Permit and the Act.
