DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging Proposed Consent Decree

    In accordance with Departmental Policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. 
Moniteau County, No. 03-4094-CV-C-SOW was lodged with the United States 
District Court for the Western District of Missouri on October 3, 2005.
    This proposed Consent Decree concerns a complaint filed by the 
United States against Moniteau County, Missouri and the Commissioners 
of Moniteau County, pursuant to Sections 301 and 404 of the Clean Water 
Act, 33 U.S.C. 1311 and 1344, to obtain injunctive relief from the 
defendants for violating the Clean Water Act by discharging pollutants 
without a permit into waters of the United States. The proposed Consent 
Decree resolves these allegations by enjoining Moniteau County from 
further violations, requiring it to take certain affirmative measures 
to avoid future violations, requiring restoration and mitigation with 
regard to an impacted area, and requiring an environmental project.
    The Department of Justice will accept written comments relating to 
this proposed Consent Decree for thirty (30) days from the date of 
publication of this Notice. Please address comments to Charles M. 
Thomas, Office of the United States Attorney for the Western District 
of Missouri, 400 East 9th Street, Room 5510, Kansas City, Missouri 
64106 and refer to United States v. Moniteau County.
    The proposed Consent Decree may be examined at the Clerk's Office,
