DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

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

On October 31, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Western
District of Louisiana in the lawsuit entitled United States and
Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality v. Evangeline Enterprises
LLC, Civil Action No. 17-01340.
In this action, the United States, on behalf of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, together with the Louisiana Department
of Environmental Quality (``LDEQ''), sought penalties and injunctive
relief under the Clean Water Act and the Louisiana Environmental
Quality Act against Evangeline Enterprises LLC (``Evangeline'') for
continuous unauthorized discharges of pollutants from Evangeline's race
horse training facility in Carencro, Louisiana to waters of the United
States and waters of the State of Louisiana. The proposed Consent
Decree will resolve the claims alleged by the United States and LDEQ
and requires Evangeline to pay $300,000 in civil penalties and perform
injunctive relief to bring its facility into compliance with applicable
federal and state laws and regulations to prevent future discharges to
area waterways.
