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 CSPA’s 60-Day Notice Letters and Complaint, thereby 

avoiding the costs and uncertainties of further litigation. A copy of the Parties’ proposed 

consent agreement (“Consent Agreement”) entered into by and between CSPA and 

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

WHEREAS, CSPA has submitted the Consent Agreement via certified mail, return 

receipt requested, to the U.S. EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice (“the agencies”) and 

the 45-day review period set forth at 40 C.F.R. § 135.5 has now expired;

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

the Parties that CSPA’s claims, as set forth in its 60-Day Notice Letter 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 17 of the Consent Agreement, the Parties also request that this 

Court retain and have jurisdiction over the Parties through October 15, 2018, for the sole 

purpose of resolving any disputes between the Parties with respect to enforcement of any 

provision of the Consent Agreement.
