                    Notice is hereby given that on August 15, 2007, a proposed Modification of Consent Decree (“Modification”) in                     *United States of America*                     v.                     *Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and Compania de Aguas de Puerto Rico, Inc.,*                    Civil Action No. 01-1709 (JAF) was lodged with the United States Court for the District of Puerto Rico. The Consent Decree requires the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (“PRASA”) to, among other things, develop and implement a system-wide operation and maintenance plan (“OMP”) for all pump station facilities in Puerto Rico owned or operated by PRASA. The Consent Decree requires PRASA to draft and implement this OMP in accordance with a schedule set forth in ¶13. The proposed Modification seeks to replace the schedule set forth in ¶13 with a new schedule that includes deadlines for phasing in interim and final portions of the OMP, and requires complete implementation by December 31, 2010.                

In addition, the Consent Decree requires PRASA to perform a “Supplemental Environmental Project” (“SEP”). The Modification affects the last activity/milestone of this SEP, listed in Appendix E of the Consent Decree, entitled “Work Plan Supplemental Environmental Project.” To date, PRASA has completed the first three milestones to be performed. In an effort to clarify PRASA's obligations in implementing the SEP, the parties have agreed to modify the last activity/milestone listed in Appendix E to provide for completion dates for the SEP projects.

                    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this publication comments relating to the Modification of Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and either e-mailed to                     *pubcomment-ees.enrd@usdoj.gov*                     or mailed to P.O.

Ref. 90-5-1-1-06475/1.
