DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On July 28, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of Nevada in the lawsuit entitled United States and State of Nevada, 
Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources v. Nevada Department of 
Transportation, Civil Action No.3:16-cv-453.
    The complaint in this lawsuit involves claims that the Nevada 
Department of Transportation (``NDOT'') discharged pollutants from its 
municipal separate storm water system into waters of the United States 
in violation of its National Pollution Discharge Elimination System 
Permit. Under the Decree, NDOT will develop and implement programs to 
control discharges from construction activity, areas that are 
redeveloped or newly developed, and from activities NDOT conducts to 
operate and maintain the highway system. NDOT will pay a civil penalty 
of $120,000 to be split evenly between the United States and the State 
of Nevada, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. NDOT will 
also implement a Real-Time Water Quality Data Availability Supplemental 
Environmental Project.
    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 
should refer to United States and State of Nevada, Dept. of 
Conservation and Natural Resources v. Nevada Department of 
Transportation D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-1-1-11031. All comments must be
