 Department of Justice
 On September 19, 2023, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed Consent Decree (the “Consent Decree”) with the District Court of the Southern District of New York in a lawsuit entitled 
                    *United States of America, et al.*
                     v. 
                    *City of Mount Vernon.,*
                     Civil Action No. 18-5845. In this action, the United States and State of New York seek injunctive relief compelling the City of Mount Vernon to comply with the Clean Water Act in its operation of a municipal separate storm sewer system. The lawsuit also seeks civil penalties for past violations. The proposed Consent Decree resolves the United States' and States' civil claims. It imposes injunctive relief requiring Mount Vernon to take steps necessary to bring its municipal separate storm sewer system into compliance. It also requires Mount Vernon to pay a $100,000 civil penalty to the United States and imposes (but suspends payment of) a $100,000 civil penalty owed to the State of New York. The publication of this notice opens the public comment on the proposed settlement. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and should refer to 
                    *United States of America, et al.*
