DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean 
Water Act

    On April 8, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Western 
District of Missouri in the lawsuit entitled United States v. Missouri 
Highway Transportation Commission, Civil Action No. 15-4069.
    The Complaint alleges that the Missouri Highway Transportation 
Commission (MHTC) violated the National Pollution Discharge Elimination 
System (NPDES) permit issued to it under of the Clean Water Act, 33 
U.S.C. 1311 et seq., at two highway construction and improvement sites 
in Missouri (Highways 54 and 67). Inspections by the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency documented numerous violations of the NPDES permit's 
stormwater requirements. The proposed Consent Decree requires MHTC to 
pay a civil penalty of $750,000 penalty, and to institute certain 
procedures and policies to enhance its compliance with stormwater 
requirements including: creating a specified stormwater management 
structure, implementing a training program, adhering to certain pre-
construction requirements, implementing an enhanced inspection regime, 
and improving its stormwater deficiency tracking and correction scheme.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and

Commission, D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-1-1-10421. All comments must be
