                    In accordance with Departmental Policy, 28 CFR 50.7, 38 FR 19029, notice is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in                     *United States and State of Texas*                     v.                     *City of Carthage,*                     Civ. No. 6:04-CV-451, DOJ #90-5-1-1-07648, was lodged in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on September 30, 2004. The Consent Decree resolves the liability of the named defendant to the United States and the State of Texas for violations of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1311.

The proposed Consent Decree provides that the City will construct an improved treatment system using chlorination to treat the effluent and meet specified operation and maintenance requirements. Additionally, the City will pay a civil penalty of $20,000 for the violations of the Clean Water Act and will perform a supplemental environmental project (“SEP”) which consists of hooking up 29 residences that are currently on septic tanks to sewer lines.
