DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to Clean Water Act

    In accordance with United States Department of Justice policy, 28 
CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in 
United States of America v. Ike Parker, Jr., and Maumee Haulers, Inc., 
Case No. 91CV 7482 Carr, J. (N.D. Ohio.), was lodged with the United 
States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Western 
Division, on July 7, 1995.
    The proposed consent decree addresses the defendants' violations of 
sections 301 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1311 & 1344, by 
their discharges of fill material into approximately 13 acres of 
wetlands that are part of a 40.15 acre site (the ``Site,'' more 
particularly described in the proposed consent decree), located in 
Lucas County, Ohio. The proposed consent decree requires the defendants 
to pay a $1,000 civil penalty to the Treasury of the United States of 
America. The proposed consent decree also requires the defendants to 
transfer the Site to the State of Ohio (or to its nominee), which will 
exchange such property for other less-disturbed wetland property in the 
area, which the State will then restore and maintain in perpetuity as a 
wetlands nature preserve.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date this notice is published, written comments relating 
to the proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the 
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, 
United States Department of Justice, Attention: Martin F. McDermott, 
Environmental Defense Section, P.O. Box 23986, Washington, D.C. 20026-
3986, and should refer to United States v. Ike Parker, Jr., et al., DJ 
Reference No. 90-1-1-4001.
    The proposed consent decree may be examined at the Clerk's Office, 
United States District Court, U.S. Courthouse, 1716 Spielbusch Avenue, 
Toledo, Ohio 43264, or may be obtained from Martin F. McDermott at the 
above address.
