Station (“CCWS”) with a Notice of Violations and Intent to File Suit (“Notice”) under Clean 

Water Act § 505, 33 U.S.C. § 1365. 

 WHEREAS, on August 29, 2007 CSPA filed its Complaint against CCWS in this 

Court, California Sportfishing Protection Alliance v. Contra Costa Waste Service Recycling 

Center and Transfer Station, Case No. 3:07-cv-04484-BZ. Said Complaint incorporates by 

reference all of the allegations contained in CSPA’s Notice. 

 WHEREAS, CSPA and CCWS, through their authorized representatives and 

without either adjudication of CSPA’s claims or admission by CCWS 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 CCWS 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, 2010, for the sole purpose of resolving any
