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

    On February 9, 2016, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of Montana, Missoula Division, in a lawsuit entitled United States v. 
Michael's Convenience Stores, Inc., Civil Action No. 9:16-cv-00020-DWM.
    In its Complaint in this civil action, the United States alleges 
that Michael's

[[Page 8099]]

Convenience Stores, Inc. is liable for penalties under the Federal 
Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act 
(``CWA''), 33 U.S.C. 1251-1387, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 
1990 (``OPA''). Specifically, the United States asserts that Michael's 
is responsible for the unauthorized discharge of harmful quantities of 
pollutants (gasoline) on or about May through July, 2007 from 
underground storage tanks at its Kalispell, Montana store. Gasoline 
from Michael's underground tanks migrated into waters of the United 
States (Ashley and Spring Creeks) and their adjoining shorelines in 
violation of 33 U.S.C. 1321(b)(3) and (4).
    The proposed Consent Decree resolves all civil claims alleged in 
the Complaint. The proposed Decree requires Michael's to pay a 
$55,000.00 civil penalty in 2 installments, 30 days and 365 days after 
the effective date of the proposed Decree.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the proposed Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the 
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,
