Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Between the United States of 
America and Tamarack Resort LLC Under the Clean Water Act

    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given that on January 24, 2008, 
a proposed Consent Decree (``Consent Decree'') in the case of United 
States v. Tamarack Resort LLC, Civil Action No. 08-40-MHW, was lodged 
with the United States District Court for the District of Idaho. The 
Consent Decree resolves the United States' claims alleged in the 
complaint against the defendant, Tamarack Resort LLC (Tamarack). The 
claims concern storm water discharged from a ski resort construction 
site in Donelly, Idaho. Specifically, the complaint alleges that 
Tamarack violated section 301 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1311, 
by discharging pollutants without a permit, and that Tamarack failed to 
comply with conditions of general permits issued under section 402 of 
the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1342.
    The Consent Decree will require Tamarack to pay a civil penalty in 
the amount of $185,000; to observe limits on winter construction 
efforts to avoid causing excess runoff; and to abide by the terms of 
the Construction General Permit.
    For thirty (30) days after the date of this publication, the 
Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the Consent 
Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, 
Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either e-mailed to

comments should refer to United States v. Tamarack Resort LLC, Civil 
Action No. 08-40-MHW, D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-1-1-08976.
    The Consent Decree may be examined at the office of the United 
States Attorney, District of Idaho, Washington Park Plaza IV, 800 Park
