DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On July 13, 2020, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
consent decree with the United States District Court for the District 
of New Hampshire in the lawsuit entitled United States of America v. 
City of Manchester, New Hampshire, Civil Action No. 20-cv-762.
    The United States' Complaint alleges violations of the Clean Water 
Act and the City of Manchester's National Pollutant Discharge 
Elimination System Permit. The claims arise from the City's combined 
sewer overflows which have resulted in the discharge of pollutants from 
the City's wastewater collection system. The Consent Decree calls for 
an approximately twenty year program of improvements which will result 
in the City eliminating or capturing for treatment 95% of the City's 
annual wet weather combined sewage.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and 
should refer to United States v. City of Manchester, D.J. Ref. No. 90-
5-1-1-11620. All comments must be submitted no later than thirty (30) 
days after the publication date of this notice. Comments may be 
submitted either by email or by mail:
