DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Water 

Act 

Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby 

given that on December 16, 2004, a 

proposed Consent Decree in United 

States v. District of Columbia Water and 

Sewer Authority, et al., Consolidated 

Civil Action 1:CV00183TFH, was lodged 

with the United States District Court for 

the District of Columbia. 

In February 2000, Citizen Plaintiffs 

environmental groups sued the District 

of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority 

(‘‘WASA’’) for violations of the Clean 

Water Act arising from its discharges 

from the combined sewer of wastewater 

containing untreated sewage and other 

pollutants into the Anacostia River, the 

Potomac River, and Rock Creek in the 

District of Columbia. The United States 

filed suit in December 2000, against 

both WASA and the District of 

Columbia. The United States alleged 

several claims, including that WASA’s 

discharges from the combined sewer 

violated the terms of its National 

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

(‘‘NPDES’’) permit and Section 301 of 

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

The two cases were consolidated. 

Plaintiffs’ other claims, claims for 

civil penalty and liability issues in the 

case were previously resolved through 

stipulations or a partial consent decree 

entered by the court in October 2003. 

The consent decree lodged today 

resolves the remaining claim of the 

United States in the case. It requires 

WASA to construct and operate a 

system of pumps and tunnels to create 

additional storage in the combined 

sewer, which is expected to reduce the 

volume and frequency of the combined 

sewer discharges. The construction 

projects, which WASA estimates will 

cost more than $1.265 billion to plan, 

design, and construct, will be built over 

a twenty (20) year period. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the 

date of this publication comments 

relating to the proposed Consent Decree. 

Comments should be addressed to the 

Assistant Attorney General, 

Environment and Natural Resources 

Division, P.O. Box 7611, U.S.

States v. District of Columbia Water and
