DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Amendment Consent Decree Pursuant to the 
Safe Drinking Water Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy and 28 C.F.R. 50.7, notice 
is hereby given that on April 24, 1995, a proposed Amendment To Consent 
Decree For Injunction Relief in United States v. Silver Bow Water Inc., 
et al., Civil Action No. 94CV026, was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the District of Montana.
    The proposed amendment modified a consent decree entered on May 15, 
1992 which resolved claims by the United States and State of Montana 
against Silver Bow Water, Inc. and the City-County of Butte-Silver Bow 
under Sections 1414 and 1431 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. 
300g-3 and 300i. The consent decree required inter alia, the 
construction of two drinking water filtration plants. The scheduled 
date for completion, startup and compliance of the two plants with the 
Safe Drinking Water Act was December 31, 1994 under the decree. The 
proposed amendment modifies the compliance schedule for the Moulton 
water treatment plant to allow for construction of custom filtration 
technology with a final compliance date on June 1, 1995. The compliance 
schedule for the Big Hole water treatment plant is unaffected by the 
proposed amendment.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the 
proposed amendment to consent decree. Comments should be addressed to 
the Assistant Attorney General of the Environment and Natural Resources 
Division, Department of Justice, P.O. Box 7611, Ben Franklin Station, 
Washington, D.C. 20044, and should refer to United States v. Silver Bow 
Water, Inc. et al., DOJ Ref. #90-5-1-1-3751A.
    The proposed consent decree amendment may be examined at the Office 
of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 
Montana Office, 301 S. Park, Helena, Montana 59626 and at the Consent 
Decree Library, 1120 ``G'' Street, N.W., 4th Floor, Washington, D.C. 
20005, (202) 624-0892. A copy of the proposed decree amendment may be 
obtained in person or by mail from the Consent Decree Library, 1120 G
