DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Amendment to Consent Decree Under 
the Clean Water Act

    On July 5, 2013, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
amendment to a consent decree with the United States District Court for 
the Eastern District of Missouri in the lawsuit entitled in United 
States, et al. v. Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District, Civil Action 
No. 4:07-CV-01120.
    Under the original 2012 consent decree, the Metropolitan St. Louis 
Sewer District (``MSD'') agreed to undertake numerous measures to come 
into compliance with the Clean Water Act, including constructing and 
implementing specific combined sewer overflow control measures. MSD 
still is in the process of complying with the 2012 decree. However, the 
proposed amendment would replace two CSO control measures (a treatment 
facility and a local storage facility) as required by the 2012 decree 
with one single CSO storage facility.
    The publication of this notice opens a period of public comment on 
the proposed amendment. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and 
should refer to United States, et al. v. Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer 
District, D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-1-1-08111. All comments must be submitted 
no later than thirty (30) days after the publication date of this 
notice. Comments may be submitted either by email or by mail:
