Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Pursuant to the Clean Water Act and

the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899

In accordance with Department of

Justice policy, 28 C.F.R. § 50.7, notice is

hereby given that a consent decree in

United States of America v. Philip M.

Punzelt, Jr., John Giunta and Jeff

Northrop, (D. Conn. No. 3:95CV000156

(DJS)), was lodged with the United

States District Court for the District of

Connecticut on January 26, 1995.

The proposed Consent Decree

concerns alleged violations of Sections

301 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, 33

U.S.C. 1311 and 1344(s), and Section 10

of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899,

33 U.S.C. 403, by defendants Philip M.

Punzelt, Jr., John Giunta and Jeff

Northrop.

As described more fully in the

Complaint, on December 15, 1982, the

Department of the Army, Corps of

Engineers, issued a permit to Philip M.

Punzelt, Jr. to perform specified work,

including construction of a seawall, in

the navigable waters of the Saugatuck

River, Westport, Connecticut. The

permit expired on December 31, 1987.

Defendant Punzelt and his contractor,

defendant John Guinta, continued to

perform construction of the seawall and

placed fill material into the navigable

waters of the United States after

expiration of the permit. In addition,

defendants Philip Punzelt and Jeff

Northrop placed unauthorized floats

and docks in the navigable waters of the

United States.

This work, and the placement of the

unauthorized structures, constitute

violations of Sections 301 and 404 of the

Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1311 and

1344, as well as Section 10 of the Rivers

and Harbors Act of 1899, 33 U.S.C. 403.

The proposed Consent Decree calls for

a civil penalty of $20,000.00 to be paid

by defendant Philip M. Punzelt, Jr.

under the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C.

1311 and 1344, and requires Mr. Punzelt

to submit to the Corps of Engineers an

application for an After-the-Fact permit

to retain the unauthorized fill material,

floats and docks, and abide by the

outcome of the permit process. Under

the Consent Decree, defendant John

Giunta must pay a civil penalty of

$6,000.00 under the Clean Water Act, 33

U.S.C. 1311 and 1344; and defendant

Jeff Northrop must pay $16,000.00 as

disgorgement of economic benefit

derived from activities in violation of

Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act

of 1899, 33 U.S.C. 403. Mr. Northrop is

alleged to have placed and/or

maintained unauthorized floats and

docks in the Saugatuck River, and

received income from rental of the

unauthorized structures. Finally, the

proposed Consent Decree provides that

the defendants will be enjoined from

future violations of the Clean Water Act

and the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899.

The United States Attorney’s Office

will receive written comments relating

to the Consent Decree until June 12,

1995. Comments should be addressed to

Sharon E. Jaffe, Esq., Assistant United

States Attorney, District of Connecticut,

P.O. Box 1824, New Haven, Connecticut

06508, and should refer to United States

of America v. Philip M. Punzelt, Jr., et

al., (D. Conn. No. 3:95CV000156 (DJS)).
