Abstract: The Crime Victims’ Rights 

Act of 2004, 18 U.S.C. 3771 (CVRA), sets 

forth the rights of a federal crime victim 

to file a complaint against any 

Department of Justice employee who 

violated or failed to provide rights 

established under the CVRA. The 

Department of Justice has created the 

Office of the Victims’ Rights 

Ombudsman to receive and investigate 

complaints filed by federal crime 

victims against its employees and has 

implemented ‘‘Procedures to Promote 

Compliance with Crime Victims’ Rights 

Obligations,’’ 28 CFR 45.10. The 

complaint process is not designed for 

the correction of specific victims’ rights 

violations but is instead used to request 

corrective or disciplinary action against 

Department of Justice employees who 

may have failed to provide rights to 

crime victims. The Department of 

Justice will investigate the allegations in 

the complaint to determine whether the 

employee used his or her ‘‘best efforts’’ 

to provide crime victim rights. The 

Office of the Crime Victims’ Rights 

Ombudsman does not administer crime 

victim funds or provide services.

BILLING CODE 4410–07–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Water 

Act 

On September 29, 2023, the 

Department of Justice lodged a proposed 

Consent Decree with the United States 

District Court for the Eastern District of 

Tennessee in the lawsuit entitled United 

States and the State of Tennessee v. 

Hamilton County Water and Wastewater 

Treatment Authority, Civil Action No. 

23–cv–00225. 

The United States, on behalf of the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(‘‘EPA’’), and the State of Tennessee 

filed this lawsuit under the Clean Water 

Act and Tennessee State law. The 

complaint seeks penalties and 

injunctive relief alleging that the 

Defendant discharged to waters of the 

United States without an NPDES Permit 

and violated the operations and 

maintenance conditions of its NPDES 

permit and, for our co-plaintiff State of 

Tennessee, violated Tennessee state 

laws. The proposed Consent Decree 

secures injunctive relief at Hamilton 

County’s wastewater treatment plant 

and collection and transmission systems 

primarily focused on eliminating 

sanitary sewer overflows and bypasses 

at the treatment plant. WWTA must pay 

a civil penalty of $598,490, split evenly 

between the United States and the State 

of Tennessee.
