DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On April 16, 2015, the Department of Justice filed a Complaint and 
simultaneously lodged a proposed Consent Decree with the United States 
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in the lawsuit 
entitled United States, et al, v. Allan Myers, Inc., et al, Civil 
Action No. 15-1992.
    This action involves the claim of the United States for civil 
penalties and injunctive relief brought pursuant to Section 309(b) and 
(d) of the Clean Water Act (``CWA''), 33 U.S.C. 1319(b) and (d), 
against Defendants for violations of the CWA at fourteen locations in 
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, including: the discharge of 
pollutants in storm water without a permit in violation of CWA Section 
301, 33 U.S.C. 1311; failure to timely submit the information required 
to obtain coverage under an applicable permit for the discharge of 
storm water associated with its construction activities in violation of 
CWA Section 308, 33 U.S.C. 1318; and for failure to comply with the 
conditions of permits (including various state general permits) issued 
pursuant to CWA Section 402, 33 U.S.C. 1342. The Consent Decree 
obligates the Defendants to pay a $455,000 civil penalty and requires 
the Defendants to implement a company-wide Stormwater Compliance 
Program that includes strict training, management, and reporting
