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 Gasco Energy, Inc. v. 
Environmental Protection Agency and United States v. Gasco Energy, 
Inc., Civil Action No. 1:12-cv-1658-MSK-BNB, was lodged with the United

issued to Gasco under Section 309 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 
1319, and counterclaims filed by the United States and Intervenor 
Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance against Gasco under Sections 309(b) 
and (d) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1319(b) and (d), to obtain 
injunctive relief from and impose civil penalties against Gasco for
