WHEREAS, on March 18, 2007, Plaintiff California Sportfishing Protection Alliance 

(“CSPA”) provided Defendant Aaron Metals Company (“Aaron Metals”) with a Notice of 

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

 WHEREAS, on July 9, 2007 CSPA filed its Complaint against Aaron Metals in this 

Court, California Sportfishing Protection Alliance v. Aaron Metals Company, Case No. 

3:07-cv-03457-WHA. Said Complaint incorporates by reference all of the allegations 

contained in CSPA’s Notice. 

 WHEREAS, CSPA and Aaron Metals, through their authorized representatives and 

without either adjudication of CSPA’s claims or admission by Aaron Metals 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 Aaron Metals 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 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
