DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Safe 
Drinking Water Act

    On April 11, 2018, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the Northern 
District of New York in a lawsuit entitled United States and the State 
of New York v. Town of Ticonderoga, New York, Civil Action No. 8:18-cv-
442-GLS-CFH.
    In that case the United States seeks relief for the Town's 
violations of the Long Term Enhanced Treatment Rule promulgated by the 
Environmental Protection Agency under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The 
complaint also contains claims alleged by the State of New York on 
behalf of the New York Department of Health under the State's laws and 
regulations. To resolve the claims alleged in the complaint, the Town 
of Ticonderoga agrees to perform injunctive relief that includes major 
long-term compliance projects plus interim measures; pay a civil 
penalty of $50,000 to be divided evenly between the United States and 
the State of New York; and perform two supplemental environmental 
projects.
