DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Pursuant to the Clean Water Act

Notice is hereby given that a proposed

Consent Decree in United States v. Great

Lakes Dredge & Dock Co., Civil No.

3:97–CV–01388–RNC (D. Conn.), was

lodged with the United States District

Court for the District of Connecticut on

July 15, 1997. The proposed Consent

Decree concerns alleged violations of

sections 301(a) and 404(s) of the Clean

Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1311(a) and

1344(s), resulting from the unauthorized

discharge of dredged material into Long

Island Sound. The defendant, Great

Lakes Dredge & Dock Company, was

hired by United Illuminating Company

to perform certain dredging operations

pursuant to a permit issued by the Corps

of Engineers. The alleged violation

occurred when an improperly loaded

scow encountered rough seas prior to

reaching an authorized disposal area

and was unloaded prematurely for

safety reasons. Great Lakes Dredge &

Dock Company has agreed to a proposed

Consent Decree to settle its alleged

violations of the Clean Water Act.

The proposed Consent Decree would

require the Great Lakes Dredge & Dock

Company to pay a $20,000 civil penalty

and would permanently enjoin it from

future violations of the Clean Water Act.

The U.S. Department of Justice will

receive written comments relating to the

proposed Consent Decree for a period of

thirty (30) days from the date of

publication of this notice. Comments

should be addressed to Ms. Sharon S.

Jaffe, Assistant United States Attorney,

915 Lafayette Blvd., Bridgeport, CT

06604, and should refer to United States

v. Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co., Civil

No. 3:97–CV–01388–RNC (D. Conn.).

The proposed Consent Decree may be

examined at the Clerk’s Office, United

States District Court for the District of

Connecticut, 450 Main Street, Hartford,

Connecticut 06103.
