DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On October 26, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Northern 
District of Iowa in the lawsuit entitled United States and State of 
Iowa v. City of Waterloo, Civil Action No. 6:15-cv-02087-LRR, Dkt. #3.
    The United States, on behalf the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency (``EPA''), and the State of Iowa filed a complaint 
against the City of Waterloo seeking injunctive relief and the 
imposition of civil penalties for illegal discharges of pollutants, 
including untreated sewage, from the City's sanitary sewer system, and 
for violations of the conditions established in the City's National 
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (``NPDES'') permit for the sewer 
system. The consent decree requires the City to conduct assessments of 
its sewer system and develop a plan of remedial measures to prevent 
future violations, and to pay $272,000 in settlement, split between the 
United States and the State of Iowa.
