WHEREAS, on March 19, 2007, Plaintiff California Sportfishing Protection 

Alliance (“CSPA”) provided Defendant E.P. Jarrett Foundation Company (“E.P. 

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

Water Act §505, 33 U.S.C. §1365. 

WHEREAS, on May 30, 2007 CSPA filed its Complaint against E.P. Jarrett in 

this court, California Sportfishing Protection Alliance v. E.P. Jarrett Foundation Co., 

Case No. 2:07−CV−01025-LKK-GGH. Said Complaint incorporates by reference all of 

the allegations contained in CSPA’s Notice. 

WHEREAS, CSPA and E.P. Jarrett, through their authorized representatives 

and without either adjudication of CSPA’s claims or admission by E.P. Jarrett 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 [Proposed] 

Consent Agreement entered into by and between CSPA and E.P. Jarrett is attached 

hereto as Exhibit A 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. On February 8, 

2008, the U.S. Department of Justice filed its letter expressing no objection to the 

proposed agreement with this Court. 

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 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 paragraphs 15 and 20 of the Consent Agreement, the 

parties also request that this Court retain and have jurisdiction over the Parties with 

respect to disputes arising under the agreement.
