DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

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

On October 26, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District
of Puerto Rico in the lawsuit entitled United States v. The

Environmental Resources, the Puerto Rico Department of Transportation
and Public Works, the Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority,
and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Civil Action No. 3:14-cv-1476-CCC.

Water Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 1251-1387, concerning CWA

(``MS4''). The proposed consent decree provides for injunctive relief
to be implemented in a two-stage, multi-phased study and repair of San
Juan's entire MS4. The proposed consent decree resolves only the
