WHEREAS, on January 23, 2006, Plaintiff California Sportfishing Protection Alliance 

(“CSPA”) provided the Jackson Irrigation District and its Board Members, George Lambert, 

Henry Willy, Tim Curran, Todd Ohm, and Larry Costick (“Defendants”) with a Notice of 

Violations and Intent to File Suit (“Notice”) under Clean Water Act §505, 33 U.S.C. §1365. 

WHEREAS, on April 25, 2006 CSPA filed its Complaint against Defendants in this 

Court, California Sportfishing Protection Alliance v. Jackson Irrigation District, et al. Case No. 

2:06-CV-00894-DFL-KJM. Said Complaint incorporates by reference all of the allegations 

contained in CSPA’s Notice. 

WHEREAS, on June 26, 2006, Jackson Valley Irrigation District, George Lambert, Henry 

Willy, Tim Curran, Todd Ohm, and Larry Costick filed a third-party complaint against 

Fanbasstic, Inc. Robert L. Lockhart, Bruce L. Lockhart, Robert M. Lockhart, Laurie Hedger, Tom 

Sears, Stolt Sea Farm California, LLC, Marine Harvest US, Inc., and Sierra Aquafarms, Inc. 

alleging that the third-party defendants were contractually and legally liable for the violations 

alleged by CSPA’s complaint. 

WHEREAS, CSPA and Defendants, through their authorized representatives and without 

either adjudication of CSPA’s claims or admission by Defendants of any alleged violation or 

other wrongdoing, have chosen to resolve in full by way of settlement the allegations of CSPA as 

set forth in the Notice and Complaint, thereby avoiding the costs and uncertainties of further 

litigation. A copy of the [Proposed] Consent Agreement entered into by and between CSPA and 

Defendants is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference. 

WHEREAS, the parties submitted the Settlement Agreement via certified mail, return 

receipt requested, to the U.S. EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice and the 45-day review 

period set forth at 40 C.F.R. § 135.5 has completed. 

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED and agreed to by and between the 

parties that CSPA’s claims, as set forth in the Notice and Complaint, be dismissed with prejudice 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2). The parties respectfully request an order 

from this Court dismissing such claims with prejudice. In accordance with paragraph 14 of the 

Consent Agreement, the parties also request that this Court retain and have jurisdiction over the
