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

WHEREAS, on June 26, 2007 CSPA filed its Complaint against GMC in this Court, 

California Sportfishing Protection Alliance v. Gayle Manufacturing Company, Case No. 2:07-cv01261-LEW-JFM. Said Complaint incorporates by reference all of the allegations contained in 

CSPA’s Notice. 

WHEREAS, CSPA and GMC, through their authorized representatives and without either 

adjudication of CSPA’s claims or admission by GMC 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 

Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of Claims (“Settlement Agreement”) entered into by and 

between CSPA and GMC is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 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 and the federal agencies have submitted correspondence to the 

Court indicating that they have no objection to the terms of the Settlement Agreement. 

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. The parties 

respectfully request an order from this Court dismissing such claims. In accordance with paragraph 2 

of the Settlement Agreement, the parties also request that this Court maintain jurisdiction over the 

parties through December 15, 2011 for the sole purpose of resolving any disputes between the parties
