DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the System Unit 

Resource Protection Act 

On December 6, 2024, the Department 

of Justice lodged a proposed consent 

decree with the United States District 

Court for the District of Colorado in the 

lawsuit entitled United States v. Water 

Supply and Storage Company, in 

personam, and Grand River Ditch, in 

rem, Civil Action No. 1:23–cv–00533– 

CNS–TPO. 

On February 27, 2023, the United 

States filed a lawsuit alleging that 

Defendants, Water Supply and Storage 

Company (‘‘WSSC’’), in personam, and 

Grand River Ditch, in rem, are liable for 

damages and response costs under the 

System Unit Resource Protection Act 

and that WSSC is liable under a March 

21, 1907 stipulation between WSSC and 

the U.S. Forest Service regarding 

operation and maintenance of the Grand 

River Ditch. The verified complaint 

alleges that on or around June 17, 2017, 

a closed culvert/pipe system, which 

forms part of the Grand River Ditch’s 

infrastructure, ruptured, causing 

substantial water to flow into the 

drainage below in Rocky Mountain 

National Park and resulting in 

significant damage to natural resources. 

The consent decree requires 

Defendants to pay the United States 

$2,680,000 in response costs and 

damages, to enter into an operations and 

maintenance agreement governing 

management of the Grand River Ditch, 

and to hire a third-party independent 

consultant to develop a comprehensive 

operations and maintenance plan for the 

Grand River Ditch. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

consent decree. Comments should be

General, Environment and Natural 

Resources Division, and should refer to
