This Amended Decree represents a modification to the initial
Consent Decree, which was entered by the Court on April 18, 2007. The
proposed Amended Decree provides for extending the deadlines by which
the Defendant must eliminate sanitary sewer overflows (``SSOs'') and

standards and stipulated penalty provisions geared to expedite overflow
reductions and eliminate such overflows. The District submitted to the
United States and the Commonwealth a financial capability and
affordability analysis. After analysis of the data, the Plaintiffs,
Commonwealth of Kentucky and the United States of America, concluded
that an extension of the schedule as reflected in the Amended Decree
was reasonable and appropriate.
