DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging Proposed Consent Order

    In accordance with Departmental Policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed consent order in United States, et al. v. 
Hubenka and LeClair Irrigation District, Civil No. 10-cv-0093-ABJ, was 
lodged with the United States District Court for the District of 
Wyoming on July 11, 2016.
    This proposed Order Amending Memorandum Opinion Filed October 22, 
2014, concerns a complaint filed by the United States against John 
Hubenka and LeClair Irrigation District under Sections 309(b) and (d) 
of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1319(b) and (d), to obtain injunctive 
relief from both Defendants and impose civil penalties on Mr. Hubenka 
for violating the Clean Water Act by discharging pollutants without a 
permit into waters of the United States. The Northern Arapaho Tribe and 
the Eastern Shoshone Tribe intervened as Plaintiffs. The proposed Order 
Amending Memorandum Opinion Filed October 22, 2014, resolves these 
allegations by, among other things, requiring the Defendants to restore 
the impacted areas and requiring Mr. Hubenka to pay a civil penalty.
    The Department of Justice will accept written comments relating to 
this proposed Order Amending Memorandum Opinion Filed October 22, 2014, 
for thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this Notice.

Hubenka and LeClair Irrigation District, DJ # 90-5-1-1-18408.
