DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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

    On August 5, 2022, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
third amendment to a consent decree with the United States District 
Court for the Eastern District of Missouri in the lawsuit entitled in 
United States, et al. v. Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District, Civil 
Action No. 4:07-CV-01120.
    Under the original 2012 consent decree, the Metropolitan St. Louis 
Sewer District (``MSD'') agreed to undertake numerous measures to come 
into compliance with the Clean Water Act, including constructing three 
combined sewer overflow (``CSO'') storage tunnels. MSD still is in the 
process of complying with the 2012 decree. The proposed amendment would 
allow MSD to replace two of these CSO storage tunnels with one larger 
CSO storage tunnel to accommodate overflows from all of the outfalls 
related to the original two CSO storage tunnels.

the proposed amendment. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and

notice. Comments may be submitted either by email or by mail:
