TO THE COURT AND TO THE PARTIES: 

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Plaintiff San Francisco Baykeeper (“Baykeeper”) and Defendant 

Granite Rock Company (“Granite Rock”) (collectively, the “Parties”) have reached a tentative 

settlement in this action, which has been executed by the Parties. As required by federal law, copies of 

the [Proposed] Consent Decree have been sent via U.S. Certified Mail to the U.S. Department of Justice 

and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (collectively, the “Agencies”) for a mandatory 45-day 

review period under 33 U.S.C. § 1365(c)(3) and 40 C.F.R. § 135.5. Upon expiration of the 45-day 

review period, the Parties will request that the Court (1) approve and execute the [Proposed] Consent 

Decree, which provides continuing Court jurisdiction over any disputes which may arise between the 

Parties under the agreement, and (2) approve and execute an Order dismissing the Complaint with 

prejudice. 

Therefore, in light of the settlement and 45-day statutory review period, which ends on 

approximately November 25, 2016, the Parties respectfully request that the Court vacate from its 

calendar Defendant’s deadline to respond to the complaint on October 14, 2016, and the October 25, 

2016 Case Management Conference and associated deadlines, and issue an order that Plaintiff has until 

December 9, 2016 to file a request to enter the [Proposed] Consent Decree. 

WHEREFORE, the Parties respectfully request that the Court approve and enter the [Proposed] 

Order below. 

DATE: October 12, 2016 Respectfully submitted,
