 WHEREAS, on April 12, 2007 Plaintiff California Sportfishing Protection Alliance 

(“CSPA”) provided Defendant Roy E. Lay Trucking (“Roy E. Lay”) with a Notice of Violations and 

Intent to File Suit (“Notice”) under Clean Water Act § 505, 33 U.S.C. § 1365. 

 WHEREAS, on June 27, 2007 CSPA filed its Complaint against Roy E. Lay in this Court, 

California Sportfishing Protection Alliance v. Roy E. Lay Trucking, Case No. 2:07-cv-01275-MCEGGH. Said Complaint incorporates by reference all of the allegations contained in CSPA’s Notice. 

 WHEREAS, CSPA and Roy E. Lay, through their authorized representatives and without 

either adjudication of CSPA’s claims or admission by Roy E. Lay 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”) entered 

into by and between CSPA and Roy E. Lay is attached hereto as Exhibit D 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.
