Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Second Modification 
Under The Clean Water Act

    On April 1, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree Second Modification with the United States District 
Court for the District of New Hampshire in the lawsuit entitled United 
States, State of New Hampshire, and Conservation Law Foundation v. City 
of Portsmouth, NH, Civil Action No. 09-cv-283-PB.
    The Consent Decree Second Modification is a modification to the 
2009 Clean Water Act Consent Decree that was entered into by the United 
States, State of New Hampshire, and the City. This Consent Decree 
Second Modification, signed by the original parties and intervenor-
plaintiff Conservation Law Foundation, revises Portsmouth's schedule 
for constructing secondary wastewater treatment facilities that had 
been set forth in a 2013 Consent Decree Modification. The Consent 
Decree Second Modification also establishes enhanced reporting 
obligations and mitigation requirements designed to counter the harm to 
the Piscataqua River and Great Bay estuary caused by delayed 
implementation of secondary treatment.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the Consent Decree Second Modification. Comments should be addressed to 
the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources 
Division, and should refer to United States, State of New Hampshire, 
and Conservation Law Foundation v. City of Portsmouth, NH, D.J. Ref. 
No. 90-5-1-1-09308. All comments must be submitted no later than thirty 
(30) days after the publication date of this notice. Comments may be 
submitted either by email or by mail:
