Summary:

D.R. Horton, Inc., the nation's largest homebuilder, has agreed to settle allegations of Clean Water Act noncompliance related to stormwater discharges at 16 construction sites in Alabama, North Carolina, and South Carolina. As part of the proposed consent decree, Horton will implement a comprehensive stormwater compliance program across hundreds of home construction sites in EPA Region 4, pay a civil penalty of $400,000, and commit to a Supplemental Environmental Project to improve water quality by reducing pollutant loads in stormwater runoff. The consent decree aims to prevent waterway contamination and ensure effective stormwater management at Horton's construction sites, leading to an estimated annual reduction of 45.5 million pounds of total suspended solids in affected waters.
