DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean
Water Act
On June 9, 2021, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District
of Massachusetts in the lawsuit entitled United States of America v.
City of Quincy, Massachusetts, Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-10483-RGS.
The United States filed a Complaint against the City of Quincy,
Massachusetts (``City'') on March 14, 2019, alleging violations of the
Clean Water Act. The Complaint alleged that sewage in the City's
sanitary sewer system had leaked from the sanitary system and entered
the separate storm sewer system, ultimately discharging with storm
water into Quincy Bay and other receiving waters. The Complaint also
alleged that the City's sanitary sewer system had overflowed on
numerous occasions, resulting in discharges of sewage. The Consent
Decree calls for the City to implement a comprehensive and integrated
program to investigate, repair, and rehabilitate its stormwater and
sanitary sewer systems, with all investigations and remedial work
completed by December 31, 2034. The City will also pay a $115,000
penalty.
