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

    On April 5, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Amendment to the Consent Decree on Combined Sewer Overflows, Wastewater 
Treatment Plants and Implementation of Capacity Assurance Program Plan 
for Sanitary Sewer Overflows (``Amendment to the Global Decree'') with 
the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in 
the lawsuit entitled United States et al. v. Board of County 
Commissioners of Hamilton County and the City of Cincinnati, Civil 
Action No. C-1-02-107. On April 3, 2018, the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, and the 
Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (collectively, 
``regulators'') conditionally approved defendants' proposal to modify 
their Wet Weather Improvement Plan (``WWIP'') to (a) change the date 
for submission of the required Phase 2 schedule to June 30, 2018, and 
(b) require Defendants to implement a ``bridge schedule'' of specified 
remedial measures expected to cost approximately $49 million by 
December 31, 2019. The regulators' approval is conditioned on the 
Court's entry of this Amendment to the Global Decree.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the proposed Amendment to the Global Decree, which is available for
