Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean 
Water Act

    Notice is hereby given that on August 25, 2010, a proposed Consent 
Decree (``Consent Decree'') in United States v. City of Revere, 
Massachusetts, Civil Action No. 1:10-cv-11460 was lodged with the 
United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
    In a complaint, filed simultaneously with the Decree, the United 
States alleges that the City of Revere, Massachusetts (``City'') 
violated Sections 301 and 308 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1311 
and 1318, as a result of unauthorized discharges of pollutants 
including raw sewage from the City's sanitary sewer system and its 
separate storm sewer system, as well as a failure to report sanitary 
sewer overflows to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. 
The proposed Consent Decree resolves the United States' claims for 
civil penalties and injunctive relief, as alleged in the complaint. 
Specifically, the proposed Consent Decree requires the City to 
implement remedial measures, including necessary upgrades to its 
sanitary sewer system and separate storm sewer system, over a period of 
approximately twelve years and at an estimated cost of approximately 
$50 million. The Consent Decree also requires the City to pay a 
$130,000 civil penalty.
