DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Under the Clean Water Act

    Notice is hereby given that on January 30, 2012, a proposed First 
Amended Consent Decree in United States of America and State of Hawaii 
v. City and County of Honolulu, Civil No. 94-00765 DAE-KSC (D. Hawaii), 
was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of 
Hawaii.
    On January 30, 2012, the United States, the State of Hawaii, the 
City and County of Honolulu, and three Intervenors (Sierra Club, 
Hawai'i Chapter, Hawai'i's Thousand Friends, and Our Children's Earth 
Foundation) filed a joint stipulation to amend the Consent Decree that 
was entered by the Court on December 17, 2010. The proposed First 
Amended Consent Decree amends the Consent Decree to provide for 
construction of a Kaneohe-Kailua Tunnel and an associated influent pump 
station instead of construction of the Kaneohe-Kailua Force Main 
required by the Consent Decree. In addition, the proposed First Amended 
Consent Decree will eliminate certain storage projects that will not be 
needed following completion of the tunnel project.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the First 
Amended Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and

Honolulu, D.J. Ref. 90-5-1-1-3825.
    The First Amended Consent Decree may be examined at U.S. EPA Region
