BILLING CODE 4410–FY–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Water 

Act 

On December 29, 2023, the United 

States lodged a proposed modified 

consent decree with the United States 

District Court for the District of New 

Hampshire for public notice and 

comment, in a lawsuit entitled United 

States v. State of New Hampshire and 

New Hampshire Fish and Game 

Department, Civil Action No. 1:18–cv– 

00996–PB. 

The United States filed a complaint in 

this action under sections 301(a), 309(b), 

and 504 of the Clean Water Act 

(‘‘CWA’’), 33 U.S.C. 1311(a), 1319(b), 

1364, against the State of New 

Hampshire and the New Hampshire 

Fish and Game Department (‘‘NHF&G’’), 

in connection with discharges of 

pollutants from the Powder Mill State 

Fish Hatchery, in New Durham, New 

Hampshire (the ‘‘Hatchery’’). The 

Hatchery is owned by the State and 

operated by NHF&G. The Complaint 

asserts two claims for injunctive relief. 

The first claim alleges that the State and 

NHF&G violated a National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System permit 

(Permit No. NH0000710; the ‘‘Permit’’), 

issued by EPA under section 402 of the 

CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1342, by exceeding its 

narrative and numeric discharge limits 

for total phosphorus and pH, in 

violation of CWA section 309(b), 33 

U.S.C. 1319(b). The second claim alleges 

that such discharges have caused or 

contributed to contamination, 

eutrophication, and the growth of toxic 

cyanobacteria in the Merrymeeting 

River and its impoundments, known as 

Marsh, Jones, and Downing Ponds, 

which poses an imminent and 

substantial endangerment to human 

health and welfare, in violation of CWA 

section 504, 33 U.S.C. 1364. The United 

States filed its complaint as PlaintiffIntervenor in an action initiated by CLF 

against Defendants NHF&G, the 

Executive Director of NHF&G, and 

Commissioners of the New Hampshire 

Fish and Game Commission. CLF’s 

complaint asserts claims similar to those 

of the United States, under the citizensuit provision of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. 

1365(a). 

The original consent decree resolved 

the claims in CLF’s and the United 

States’ complaints. The modified Decree 

retains most of the original decree’s 

provisions, including the requirement 

that NHF&G achieve compliance with 

the CWA and its Permit by the end of 

2025, but allows NHF&G to do so 

through means other than those 

required by the original decree, based 

on a study showing that such other 

means could be more technically 

feasible and cost effective. All parties to 

the original decree have signed the 

modified Decree. 

Publication of this notice opens a 

period for public comment on the 

proposed modified Decree. Comments 

should be addressed to the Assistant 

Attorney General, Environment and 

Natural Resources Division, and should 

refer to United States v. State of New 

Hampshire and New Hampshire Fish 

and Game Department, D.J. Ref. No. 90– 

5–1–1–12466. All comments must be 

submitted no later than 30 days after the 

publication date of this notice.
