DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Water 
Act; South Essex Sewerage District, et al.

    In accordance with 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on 
October 25, 1994, a proposed Modified Consent Decree as to Defendant 
South Essex Sewerage District (``Modified Decree'') in United States of 
America v. South Essex Sewerage District, et al., Civil Action No. 83-
2814-Y, was lodged with the United States District Court for the 
District of Massachusetts. The United States' complaint sought relief 
under the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq. The Modified Decree 
revises the existing consent decree as to the South Essex Sewerage 
District (``SESD'') entered by the Court in 1991. The Modified Consent 
Decree provides for a revised residuals disposition approach by SESD, 
under which SESD is required to enter into primary long-term and backup 
contracts for disposition of its sludge residuals and to design and 
obtain permits for a backup residuals landfill which it is to construct 
in the event of difficulties with contractual disposition. The Modified 
Decree also adds a construction schedule for an outfall effluent 
diffuser, which is to be constructed by February 28, 1997.
    The Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the 
proposed consent decree for a period of thirty (30) days from the date 
of this publication. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, 
Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. 20530, and should refer to 
United States v. South Essex Sewerage District, et al., D.J. Ref. 90-5-
1-1-2049A.
    The proposed consent decree may be examined at the office of the 
United States Attorney, 1003 J.W. McCormack P.O. & Courthouse, Boston, 
Massachusetts 02109, and at the Region I office of the Environmental 
Protection Agency, One Congress St., Boston, Massachusetts 02203. The 
proposed consent decree may also be examined at the Consent Decree 
Library, 1120 G St. NW., 4th Floor, Washington, DC 20005, 202-624-0892. 
A copy of the proposed consent decree may be obtained in person or by
