DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

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

    In accordance with Departmental policy and 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that on October 3, 1995, a partial consent decree in 
United States v. City of Watertown et al., Civil Action No. 95-1018 was 
lodged with the United States District Court for the District of South 
Dakota.
    This partial consent decree settles certain injunctive relief 
claims brought pursuant to section 309 (b) and (d) of the Clean Water 
Act (the ``Act''), 33 U.S.C. 1319 (b) and (d). Under the terms of the 
partial consent decree, the City of Watertown must properly operate, 
staff and maintain its water treatment facility, promptly implement and 
enforce an Industrial Pretreatment Program, cease all unpermitted 
discharges, and enter into a compliance schedule that requires full 
compliance with all National Pollution Discharge Elimination System 
(``NPDES'') permit limits by December 31, 1997. This partial consent 
decree does not settle the civil penalty portion of this action.
    The Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the 
proposed partial consent decree for a period of thirty days from the 
date of publication of this notice. Comments should be addressed to the 
Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division,
