A person or party who wishes to 

protest one or more plats of survey 

identified above must file a written 

notice of protest with the State Director 

for the BLM in Alaska. The protest may 

be filed by mailing to BLM State 

Director, Alaska State Office, Bureau of 

Land Management, 222 West 7th 

Avenue, Anchorage, AK 99513 or by 

delivering it in person to BLM Alaska 

Public Information Center, Fitzgerald 

Federal Building, 222 West 7th Avenue, 

Anchorage, Alaska. The notice of protest 

must identify the plat(s) of survey that 

the person or party wishes to protest. 

You must file the notice of protest 

before the scheduled date of official 

filing for the plat(s) of survey being 

protested. The BLM will not consider 

any notice of protest filed after the 

scheduled date of official filing. A 

notice of protest is considered filed on 

the date it is received by the State 

Director for the BLM in Alaska during 

regular business hours; if received after 

regular business hours, a notice of 

protest will be considered filed the next 

business day. A written statement of 

reasons in support of a protest, if not 

filed with the notice of protest, must be 

filed with the State Director for the BLM 

in Alaska within 30 calendar days after 

the notice of protest is filed. 

If a notice of protest against a plat of 

survey is received prior to the 

scheduled date of official filing, the 

official filing of the plat of survey 

identified in the notice of protest will be 

stayed pending consideration of the 

protest. A plat of survey will not be 

officially filed until the dismissal or 

resolution of all protests of the plat. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personally identifiable information in a 

notice of protest or statement of reasons, 

you should be aware that the documents 

you submit, including your personally 

identifiable information, may be made 

publicly available in their entirety at 

any time. While you can ask the BLM 

to withhold your personally identifiable 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Two Proposed 

Consent Decrees Under the Clean 

Water Act 

On April 7, 2022, the Department of 

Justice lodged two proposed consent 

decrees with the United States District 

Court for the Northern District of 

Indiana in the lawsuit entitled United 

States of America and the State of 

Indiana v. the Sanitary District of 

Highland and the Town of Griffith, 

Indiana, Civil Action No. 2:22–cv– 

00086. 

The United States and the State of 

Indiana filed this lawsuit under the 

Clean Water Act against the Sanitary 

District of Highland, Indiana and the 

Town of Griffith, Indiana. The 

complaint seeks injunctive relief and 

civil penalties for violations of the 

regulations that govern discharges of 

pollutants to waters of the State and 

United States. The Complaint alleges 

that both Highland and Griffith had 

numerous illegal discharges of sanitary 

sewage from their sanitary sewer 

systems and that both defendants failed 

to comply with an EPA administrative 

order under the Clean Water Act. 

The United States and the State of 

Indiana reached two separate consent 

decrees with Highland and Griffith. The 

consent decree with Highland requires 

it to make improvements designed to 

eliminate sanitary sewer overflows by 

2033 and pay a $175,000 civil penalty. 

The consent decree with the Town of 

Griffith requires it to make 

improvements designed to eliminate 

sanitary sewer overflows by 2026 and 

pay a $33,000 civil penalty.

consent decree. Comments should be
