Nev.), was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Nevada on August 6, 2009.                

The proposed Consent Decree concerns a complaint filed by the United States against Union Pacific Railroad Company, pursuant to sections 309(b) and (d) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1319(b) and (d), to obtain injunctive relief and civil penalties against Union Pacific Railroad Company for the unauthorized discharge of pollutants in Lincoln and Clark Counties, Nevada, in violation of sections 301(a), 402, and 404 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1311(a), 1342, & 1344, and for failure to timely submit information in violation of section 308 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1318.
