DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Decree Under the Clean Water 

Act 

On January 2, 2015, the Department of 

Justice lodged a proposed Consent 

Decree in United States and the State of 

Arkansas v. The City of Fort Smith, 

Arkansas, Civil Action No. 14–cv– 

02266–PKH in the United States District 

Court for the Western District of 

Arkansas. Notice is hereby given that, 

for a period of 30 days, the United 

States will receive public comments on 

the proposed Consent Decree. 

The United States and the State filed 

an amended complaint against Fort 

Smith on the same date. The amended 

complaint alleges that Fort Smith 

discharged untreated wastewater from 

Fort Smith’s sanitary sewer collection 

system to waters of the United States 

and the State on numerous occasions, 

and that Fort Smith failed to comply 

with certain terms and conditions of its 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System permits, in 

violation of Sections 301 and 402 of the 

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

1342. 

Under the settlement, Fort Smith will 

implement various injunctive measures 

to achieve full compliance with the 

Clean Water Act and eliminate sanitary 

system overflows. The injunctive 

measures to be undertaken by Fort 

Smith include conducting a 

comprehensive inspection of its 

collection system for condition defects, 

increasing capacity of sewer lines, 

where needed, repairing, rehabilitating 

or replacing sewer lines with significant 

defects, upgrading of pump stations, 

and developing and implementing a 

‘‘capacity, management, operation and 

maintenance system’’ to further reduce 

the incidence of sanitary sewer 

overflows. The estimated cost of 

implementing these measures, over an 

anticipated 12 year period, is 

approximately $205,000,000 in current 

dollars. Fort Smith will also implement 

a Supplemental Environmental Project 

aimed at assisting qualified low income 

residential property owners to repair or 

replace defective private service lines 

which connection to its collection 

system, valued at $400,000. Fort Smith 

will also pay a civil penalty of to the 

United States of $300,000. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

proposed Consent Decree. Comments 

should be addressed to the Assistant 

Attorney General, Environment and 

Natural Resources Division, and should
