STIPULATONI TO DISMISS AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 1

Case No. 2:09-CV-02745-GEB-EFB

WHEREAS, on May 1, 2009, Plaintiffs California Sportfishing Protection Alliance and 

Northern California River Watch (collectively “CSPA”) provided Defendant Syar Industries, Inc. 

(“Syar”) with a Notice of Violations and Intent to File Suit (“Notice”) under Clean Water Act § 

505, 33 U.S.C. § 1365. 

 WHEREAS, on October 1, 2009, CSPA filed its Complaint against Syar in this 

Court, California Sportfishing Protection Alliance v. Syar Industries, Inc., Case No. 2:09-cv02745-GEB-EFB. Said Complaint incorporates by reference all of the allegations contained in 

CSPA’s Notice. 

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

either adjudication of CSPA’s claims or admission by Syar 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”), without the attached exhibits, entered into by and between CSPA and Syar 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 1, 2012, for the sole purpose of resolving any ///
