DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Water Act

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 C.F.R. Sec. 50.7, notice 
is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. 
Potomac Electric Power Company, Civil Action No. PJM 95-1967, was 
lodged on July 3, 1995, with the United States District Court for the 
District of Maryland. The complaint alleges that PEPCO discharged fly-
ash wastewater (a pollutant) into waters of the United States without a 
permit in violation of the Clean Water Act. 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq. The 
consent decree requires PEPCO to pay a civil penalty of $975,000.00. No 
injunctive relief is imposed because the violations have ceased and 
PEPCO has taken appropriate steps to ensure they are not repeated.
    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, 
Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer to United 
States v. Potomac electric Power Company, DOJ Ref. #90-5-1-1-4153.
    The proposed consent decree may be examined at the Office of the 
United States Attorney, 604 United States Court House, 101 West Lombard 
Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201; the Regional III Office of the 
Environmental Protection Agency, 841 Chestnut Building, Philadelphia, 
PA 19107; and at the Consent Decree Library, 1120 G Street, NW., 4th 
Floor, Washington, DC 20005, 202-624-0892. A copy of the proposed
