given that a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. The Bear's 
Club Founding Partners, Ltd., et al., No. 9:15-cv-81466-WPD, was lodged 
with the United States District Court for the Southern District of 
Florida on July 7, 2016.
    The proposed Consent Decree concerns a complaint filed by the 
United States, on behalf of the United States Army Corps of Engineers, 
against The Bear's Club Founding Partners, Ltd., The Bear's Club 
Development Co., The Bear's Club Builders LLC, Bear's Club Management 
Corp., Clarendon Properties Group, Inc., Ivan Charles Frederickson, Ira 
Fenton, and Robert B. Whitley to obtain a civil penalty and other 
appropriate relief for violating section 404 of the Clean Water Act, 33 
U.S.C. 1344, by discharging pollutants without a permit into waters of
