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. Savoy 
Senior Housing Corp., et al., No. 6:06-cv-31 (W.D. Va.), was lodged 
with the United States District Court for the Western District of 
Virginia, Lynchburg Division, on January 7, 2009.
    The proposed Consent Decree concerns a complaint filed by the 
United States against Savoy Senior Housing Corporation, Savoy Liberty 
Village, LLC, SDB Construction, Inc., Jacob A. Frydman, Best G.C., Inc. 
(a/k/a Best Grading), and Acres of Virginia, Inc., for alleged 
violations of Section 301(a) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. 
1311(a). The proposed Consent Decree resolves all allegations against 
the defendants for discharging dredged or fill material, and/or 
controlling and directing such discharges, into waters of the United 
States at a 140-acre property located in Campbell County, Virginia, 
without a permit issued by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. 
The proposed Consent Decree also resolves all allegations against the 
defendants for discharging sediment in stormwater, and/or controlling 
and directing such discharges, into waters of the United States on or 
from the same property, both without a CWA permit and in violation of 
such a permit once it was obtained.
    The proposed Consent Decree requires Savoy Senior Housing 
Corporation, Savoy Liberty Village, LLC, SDB Construction, Inc., Best 
G.C., Inc., and Acres of Virginia, Inc., to pay to the United States a 
civil penalty. The proposed Consent Decree also requires these 
defendants to restore certain areas on and adjacent to the 140-acre 
site, and also to fund off-site mitigation through the purchase of 
credits from stream and wetland restoration banks in the region.
    The Department of Justice will accept written comments relating to 
the proposed Consent Decree for thirty (30) days from the date of 
publication of this Notice. Please address comments to Kenneth C. 
Amaditz, Trial Attorney, Environmental Defense Section, P.O. Box 23986,
