DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Stipulations Pursuant to the Clean Water
Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.
In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR Sec. 50.7, notice is
hereby given that proposed stipulations in United States v. City of
Brook Park, Civil Action No. 1:91CV1727, United States v. City of
Middleburg Heights, Civil Action No. 1:91CV1722, United States v. City
of Berea, Civil Action No. 1:91CV1726, and United States v. City of
Strongsville, Civil Action No. 1:91CV1725 were lodged on September 28,
1995 with the United States District Court for the Northern District of
Ohio. The stipulations settle actions brought concurrently under the
Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq., (the ``Act'') to address the
defendants' violations of the pollutant discharge limits set forth in
the defendant cities' respective permits issued pursuant to Section
1342 of the Act. Each of the defendant cities is a suburb of Cleveland,
Ohio, and located within the Rocky River Basin, which drains into Lake
Erie. Since the complaints were filed on August 30, 1991, each of the
defendant cities has ceased discharging their municipal wastewaters
into navigable waterways of the United States by directing those
wastewaters to a regional wastewater treatment plant owned and operated
by the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District. Accordingly, the
defendants are in compliance with the pollutant discharge limits of
their respective permits. Each stipulation requires the defendants in
that case to pay a civil penalty of $10,000.
The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the
proposed stipulations. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division,
Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. 20530, and should refer to:

of Berea, DOJ Ref. #90-5-1-1-3731; and United States v. City of
Strongsville DOJ Ref. #90-5-1-1-3729.
The proposed stipulations may be examined at the office of the
United States Attorney, 1800 Bank One Center, 600 Superior Avenue East,
Cleveland, Ohio; the Region 5 Office of the Environmental Protection
Agency, 77 West Jackson Boulevard Chicago, IL 60604; and at the Consent
