DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Amendment to Consent Decree Under 

the Clean Water Act 

Notice is hereby given that on June 

23, 2009, a proposed Consent Decree, 

pertaining to United States and State of 

Minnesota v. City of Duluth, Minnesota

District, Civ. No. 09–cv–1590, was

U.S.C. 1251, et seq., applicable 

provisions of Minn. Stat. section 115
