                    In accordance with Department of Justice policy, notice is hereby given that on October 10, 2007, a proposed consent decree (“Consent Decree”) in                     *United States and the State of Illinois*                     v.                     *Board of Regents of the University of Illinois, et al.*, Civil Action No. 2:07-cv-02188, was lodged with the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois.                

The Consent Decree would resolve claims for natural resource damages under Section 311(f) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1321(f), against the three defendants named in the complaint: the Board of Regents of the University of Illinois, the Urbana Champaign Sanitary District, and CEDA, Inc. (collectively the “Defendants”). The complaint alleges that the Defendants are liable for payment of natural resource damages for a fish kill incident that occurred in July 2002, when the Defendants discharged ammonia-containing wastewater to the Saline Branch Drainage ditch above its confluence with the Salt Fork of the Vermillion River in Urbana, Illinois. The Consent Decree would require the Defendants to pay a total of $491,000 to resolve the natural resource damages claims asserted by the United States and the State of Illinois, including payment of: (i) $450,000 for natural resource restoration projects to be performed by the Federal and State natural resource trustees; (ii) $33,000 for reimbursement of natural resource damage assessment costs incurred by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources; and (iii) $8,000 for reimbursement of natural resource damage assessment costs incurred by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
