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 
Municipality of San Juan, the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and 
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.
    The proposed consent decree resolves the United States' claims 
against the Municipality of San Juan (``San Juan'') under the Clean 
Water Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. Sec. Sec.  1251-1387, concerning CWA 
violations throughout San Juan's municipal separate storm sewer system 
(``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 
violations alleged against San Juan in the Complaint through the date 
of lodging of the Consent Decree and does not resolve claims against 
the other Defendants.

the proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the
