DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Water 
Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. Excel 
Corporation, Civil Action No. 94-C-493, was lodged on May 25, 1995 in 
the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The 
consent decree settles an action brought under the Clean Water Act (the 
``Act''), 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq. seeking an injunction and civil 
penalties for Excel's violations of the Act and for violations of the 
General Pretreatment Regulations, 40 CFR Part 403. Pursuant to the 
consent decree, Excel will pay a total civil penalty of $450,000. By 
separate agreement, Excel has agreed to pay the City of Fort Morgan a 
penalty of $205,000 to settle the City's parallel enforcement action 
against Excel. The United States' settlement with Excel recognizes 
Excel's penalty payment to the City by allowing credit for the penalty 
paid to the City. Accordingly, Excel's civil penalty payment to the 
United States pursuant to this settlement totals $245,000.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the 
proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division,
