Water Act

    On January 19, 2017, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Northern 
District of Iowa in the lawsuit entitled United States v.

[[Page 8954]]

Meadowvale Dairy, LLC, et al., Civil Action No. 5:15-cv-4016-LTS.
    The proposed Consent Decree will resolve Clean Water Act claims 
alleged in this action by the United States against Meadowvale Dairy, 
LLC (``Meadowvale'') and Mr. Sjerp Ysselstein (collectively ``Settling 
Defendants'') for violations of two permits issued to concentrated 
animal feeding operations (``CAFOs'') at the Settling Defendants' 
facility, and for unauthorized discharges into waters adjoining the 
facility. Under the terms of the proposed Consent Decree, the Settling 
Defendants will pay a civil penalty of $160,000 and prepare and 
implement a comprehensive Work Plan designed to ensure permit 
compliance and to prevent unauthorized discharges from the CAFOs. The 
Settling Defendants must also retain an independent third party to 
conduct two annual compliance audits to ensure ongoing compliance with 
the terms of the proposed Consent Decree and the controlling permits.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the proposed Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the
