contingent upon the expiration of the federal agencies’ 45-day review period.1

 PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that, in accordance with federal law, 

no judgment disposing of this action may be entered prior to 45 days following the 

receipt of the proposed settlement agreement by the United States Department of 

Justice and the national and Region IX offices of the United States Environmental 

Protection Agency. See 40 C.F.R. § 135.5 (requiring the parties to provide notice to 

the court of the 45-day agency review period under 33 U.S.C. § 1365(c)). The 

regulatory agencies’ review period will end on or about May 8, 2009; if any of the 

reviewing agencies object to the proposed agreement, the parties would require 

additional time to meet and confer and attempt to resolve the agencies’ concerns.

Consequently, the parties submit that good cause exists to set June 8, 2009, as the 

deadline for the filing of a Stipulation for Approval of Consent Agreement and 

Dismissal of Plaintiff’s Claims With Prejudice, or a Notice that the settlement is null 

and void.
