BILLING CODE 7020–02–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Under the Clean Water Act 

Notice is hereby given that on July 31, 

2008, a proposed Consent Decree (the 

‘‘Decree’’) in United States v. Bacardi 

Corporation, Civil Action No. 3:08–cv–

1825 was lodged with the United States 

District Court for the District of Puerto 

Rico. 

In a complaint, filed simultaneously 

with the Decree, the United States 

charged that Bacardi Corporation 

(‘‘Bacardi’’) violated the Clean Water 

Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq., at its facility 

in Catan ̃ o, Puerto Rico (‘‘Facility’’) by 

discharging pollutants in excess of 

effluent limitations contained in its 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (‘‘NPDES’’) Permit 

No. PR0000591, by failing to report 

results of sampling conducted by 

Bacardi, including violations of effluent 

limitations, and by failing to conduct 

toxicity testing and report the results of 

such testing as required by NPDES 

Permit No. PR0000591. 

Pursuant to the Decree, Bacardi will 

implement a number of compliance 

measures, including enhanced 

monitoring of certain pollutants in the 

Facility’s effluent and developing and 

implementing a plan of action to 

address exceedances of the effluent 

limitations for bacterial pollutants. If 

Bacardi exceeds any effluent limitation 

prior to termination of the Decree, such 

exceedance may trigger a requirement to 

implement further compliance 

measures. 

Bacardi will pay a $550,000 civil 

monetary penalty to the United States 

pursuant to the Decree. Bacardi must 

also carry out a land preservation 

supplemental environmental project, 

the value of which is estimated at 

approximately $1,000,000. Specifically, 

Bacardi will transfer title to a parcel of 

land containing wetlands, located in the 

watershed of Cienega Las Cucharillas in 

Catan ̃ o, Puerto Rico, to a non-profit 

group, and require the attachment of 

deed restrictions, covenants and/or 

easements to ensure the land is 

perpetually maintained as a protected 

area. This land preservation project will 

assist in restoring the ecosystem, 

provide environmental and public 

health protection, and enable the 

ecological resources of Cienaga Las 

Cucharillas and nearby mangrove forest 

and wetland areas to be maintained and 

protected to ensure future 

environmental benefits. 

The Department of Justice will 

receive, for a period of thirty (30) days 

from the date of this publication, 

comments relating to the Decree. 

Comments should be addressed to the 

Assistant Attorney General, 

Environment and Natural Resources
