On December 18, 2014, the parties filed a joint status report (Dkt. No. 43) 

advising the Court that the parties had reached a tentative agreement on all deadlines. 

The Court ordered the case held in abeyance until January 12, 2015 (Dkt. No. 44). 

The parties have now reached tentative agreement on all deadlines and Plaintiff 

has obtained management approval of a proposed Consent Decree. As the parties 

explained in the prior status reports, approval of a settlement on behalf of Defendant will 

require review by the appropriate officials of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

and the U.S. Department of Justice as well as compliance with the public notice 

requirement of 40 U.S.C. § 7413(g). 

Accordingly, the parties stipulate to and request that the Court hold this matter in 

abeyance until January 26, 2015 to allow the parties to receive management approval for 

settlement. 

Respectfully submitted, 

Date: January 13, 2015
