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.
