Proposed Interim Consent Decree and 

Proposed Interim Settlement 

Agreement, Clean Water Act and 

Administrative Procedure Act Claims 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed interim 

consent decree and proposed interim 

settlement agreement; request for public 

comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

Administrator’s March 18, 2022, 

memorandum regarding ‘‘Consent 

Decrees and Settlement Agreements to 

resolve Environmental Claims Against 

the Agency,’’ notice is hereby given of 

a proposed interim consent decree and 

proposed interim settlement agreement 

in Northwest Environmental Advocates 

v. EPA, No. 19–01537 (W.D. Wash.). On 

September 26, 2019, Plaintiff Northwest 

Environmental Advocates filed a 

complaint alleging that EPA failed to 

perform duties mandated by the Clean 

Water Act (CWA) regarding 

Washington’s obligation to develop 

Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) to 

address waters identified on the state’s 

impaired waters list and that EPA’s 

inaction was arbitrary and capricious 

under the Administrative Procedure Act 

(APA), among other claims. EPA seeks 

public input on a proposed interim 

consent decree and proposed interim 

settlement agreement prior to its final 

decision-making regarding entering into 

the proposed documents. 

DATES: Written comments on the 

proposed interim consent decree and 

proposed interim settlement agreement 

must be received by October 10, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OGC–2023–0452 online at 

www.regulations.gov (EPA’s preferred 

method). Follow the online instructions 

for submitting comments. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the Docket ID number for 

this action. Comments received may be 

posted without change to 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided. For 

detailed instructions on sending 

comments, see the ‘‘Additional 

Information About Commenting on the 

Proposed Interim Consent Decree and 

Proposed Interim Settlement 

Agreement’’ heading under the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of 

this document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Interim Consent Decree and 

Proposed Interim Settlement Agreement 

On September 26, 2019, Plaintiff filed 

a complaint 1 in the federal district court 

for the Western District of Washington 

alleging that EPA actions and inactions 

concerning the state of Washington’s 

water quality assessment and listing 

program and TMDL program violated 

the APA and section 303(d) of the CWA. 

Among other claims, Plaintiff asserted 

that EPA violated the CWA by failing to 

disapprove Washington’s alleged 

constructive submission of no TMDLs 

for waters on the state’s 1996 list of 

impaired waters needing TMDLs and to 

establish TMDLs for such waters. In 

August 2020, the district court granted 

Washington’s motion to intervene as a 

defendant in the litigation. The parties 

initiated settlement negotiations shortly 

thereafter, which led to the 

development of the proposed interim 

consent decree and proposed interim 

settlement agreement that are the 

subject of this notice. 

The proposed interim consent decree 

and proposed interim settlement 

agreement would constitute the first 

part of a potential two-phase settlement 

framework and thus completion of the 

commitments set forth in each 

document would not result in dismissal 

of the litigation. Specifically, the 

proposed interim consent decree would 

require Washington to submit three 

TMDLs to EPA by December 2025 (Soos 

Creek fine sediment, Drayton Harbor 

bacteria, and Whatcom Creek bacteria) 

and would prohibit the Plaintiff from 

filing any new TMDL constructive 

submission lawsuits in Washington for 

a period of 34 months. Under the 

proposed interim settlement agreement, 

while the litigation was held in 

abeyance, an EPA-funded contractor 

would review and evaluate 

Washington’s TMDL program to inform 

an EPA report providing 

recommendations for improving the 

program, particularly with respect to the 

timely development of TMDLs. Upon 

completion and consideration of the 

report, the parties would reengage in 

settlement discussions in an effort to 

reach a final agreement that would 

resolve the litigation. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, EPA will accept written 

comments relating to the proposed 

interim consent decree and proposed 

interim settlement agreement from 

persons who are not parties to the 

litigation. EPA also may hold a public 

hearing on whether to enter into the 

proposed interim consent decree and 

proposed interim settlement agreement. 

EPA or the Department of Justice may 

withdraw or withhold consent to the 

proposed interim consent decree and 

proposed interim settlement agreement 

if the comments received disclose facts 

or considerations that indicate that such 

consent is inappropriate, improper, 

inadequate, or inconsistent with the 

requirements of the CWA or APA.

Consent Decree and Proposed Interim
