    DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
    
    
    Notice of Lodging of Consent Judgment Pursuant to the Clean Water 
    Act
    
        In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
    hereby given that a consent judgment in United States v. J.S. Alberici 
    Construction Co., Inc., Civil Action No. 4:99CV00071 (CAS) (E.D. Mo.), 
    was lodged with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
    District of Missouri on January 19, 1999.
        The proposed consent judgment would resolve the United States' 
    allegations in the above-referenced enforcement action that Defendant 
    violated Sections 301 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1311 
    and 1344, by unlawfully placing a barge and approximately 13,000 cubic 
    yards of fill material into the Mississippi River in St. Louis, 
    Missouri, for the purpose of repairing a loading dock area.
        The proposed consent judgment would require Defendant to pay a 
    $400,000 civil penalty and to either: (1) restore the site immediately; 
    or (2) apply for a permit to allow the fill to remain in place. If the 
    Corps grants the permit and Defendant accepts the terms and conditions 
    of the permit, such terms and conditions shall become requirements of 
    the consent judgment. If, however, the Corps denies the permit or 
    Defendant rejects the terms of the permit, Defendant shall comply with 
    the restoration requirements of the consent judgment. The consent 
    judgment would

    also require Defendant to continue an ongoing environmental educational 
    program for its employees and to prepare a 30-minute video on the 
    requirements of the Clean Water Act and Rivers and Harbors Act.
        The Department of Justice will accept written comments relating to 
    the proposed consent judgment for thirty (30) days from the date of 
    publication of this notice. Comments should be addressed to the 
    Assistant Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, 
    U.S. Department of Justice, Attention: Wendy L. Blake, Environmental 
    Defense Section, P.O. Box 23986, Washington, DC 20026-3986, and should 
    refer to United States v. J.S. Alberici Construction Co., Inc., DJ 
    Reference No. 90-5-1-1-05215.
        The proposed consent judgment may be examined at either the Clerk's 
    Office of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of 
    Missouri, 1114 Market Street, Room 260, St. Louis, Missouri, or the 
    Consent Decree Library, 1120 G Street, N.W., 4th Floor, Washington, DC 
    20005. Requests for a copy of the consent judgment may be mailed to the 
    Consent Decree Library at the above address and must include a check in 
    the amount of $2.50.
