DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Under the Clean Water Act

Pursuant to 28 C.F.R. § 50.7, notice is

hereby given that on June 26, 1998, a

proposed Consent Decree in United

States v. The Municipality of Penn Hills,

Civil Action No. 91–1334, was lodged

with the United States District Court for

the Western District of Pennsylvania.

The United States has asserted, in a

civil complaint under the Clean Water

Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq., that Penn

Hills violated Section 301 of the Act, 33

U.S.C. § 1311 and its NPDES permits,

issued pursuant to Section 402 of the

Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1342 by discharging

pollutants in excess of its permit limits

and by discharging raw sewage through

unlawful bypasses within the collection

and treatment systems. The United

States also alleged that Penn Hills failed

to properly dispose of sludge, failed to

properly maintain and operate its

facilities, and failed to monitor and

report, as required in its NPDES

permits.

Pursuant to Preliminary Injunction

Orders issued by the Court during the

litigation of this matter, Penn Hills has

connected three of its collection systems

to the ALCOSAN system, and has

converted three treatment plants to

equalization basins. In addition, Penn

Hills has constructed additional

equalization basins to collect hydraulic

overflows to eliminate the unlawful

bypassing of raw sewage into the rivers

and tributaries of the Monongahela and

Allegheny Rivers.

Under the proposed Consent Decree,

Penn Hills shall monitor and report any

future unauthorized flows, shall

monitor and report on the usage of the

equalization tanks, and shall make all

necessary upgrades to the Plum Creek

collection and treatment system. Penn

Hills shall also pay a civil penalty of

$525,000, with $300,000 to be paid to

the United States and $225,000 to be

paid to the Commonwealth of

Pennsylvania. Finally, Penn Hills shall

implement three Supplemental

Environmental Projects. The first

requires Penn Hills to develop, design,

and build a Geographic Information

system for the Penn Hills sanitary sewer

collection and conveyance system. The

second requires Penn Hills to perform

street sweeping operations on a semiannual basis. The third requires Penn

Hills to implement a household

hazardous waste collection and disposal

program.

The Department of Justice will receive

for a period of thirty (30) days from the

date of this publication comments

relating to the Consent Decree.

Comments should be addressed to the

Assistant Attorney General of the

Environment and Natural Resources

Division, Department of Justice,

Washington, D.C. 20530, and should

refer to United States v. The

Municipality of Penn Hills, Civil Action

No. 91–1334, D.J. Ref. 90–5–1–1–3722.

The Consent Decree may be examined

at the Office of the United States

Attorney for the Western District of

Pennsylvania, 633 Post Office and

Courthouse, 7th & Grant Streets,

Pittsburgh, PA 15219; at the Region III

Environmental Protection Agency
