DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Stipulated Agreement and Order Pursuant to
the Clean Water Act
In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
hereby given that a proposed Stipulated Agreement and Order in United
States v. District of Columbia, Civil Action No. 96-669, was lodged on
April 5, 1996 with the United States District Court for the District of
Columbia. The proposed Stipulated Agreement and Order resolves the
claims brought in a Complaint filed the same day under the Clean Water
Act (``Act'') against the District of Columbia, which owns and operates
the Blue Plains Wastewater Treatment Works facility in Washington, D.C.
The proposed Stipulated Agreement and Order requires the District
of Columbia to conduct construction and maintenance projects at the
Blue Plains facility which satisfy the claims in the Complaint alleging
violations of the Operation and Maintenance provision of the District's
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit. The proposed
Agreement also provides for relief which satisfies the claims in the
Complaint alleging violations of Title II of the Act and the conditions
of EPA construction grant agreements, which require a grantee to
implement a user charge system ensuring the proper and efficient
operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment facility.
The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the
proposed Stipulated Agreement and Order. Comments should be addressed
to the Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural
Resources Division, Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and
should refer to United States v. District of Columbia, DOJ Ref. 90-5-1-
1-3598A.
The proposed Stipulated Agreement and Order may be examined at the
Office of the United States Attorney, District of Columbia, 555 4th
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20001; the Region III Office of the
Environmental Protection Agency, 941 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA
19107; and at the Consent Decree Library, 1120 G Street, NW., 4th
Floor, Washington, DC 20005, 202-624-0892. A copy of the proposed
Stipulated Agreement and Order may be obtained in person or by mail
from the Consent Decree Library, 1120 G Street, NW., 4th Floor,
Washington, DC 20005. In requesting a copy, please refer to the
