DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Final (Consent) Judgment Pursuant to the
Clean Water Act
In accordance with Departmental Policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
hereby given that a proposed Final (Consent) Judgment in United States
v. Florida Rock Industries, Civil Action No. 94-102-CIV-DAVIS (S.D.
Fla.), was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Florida on March 21, 1994.
The proposed Final (Consent) Judgement concerns alleged violations
of sections 301 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. Secs. 1311
and 1344, as a result of the unauthorized discharge of fill material
into wetlands. The wetlands involved are portions of a 1280 acre tract
of the East Everglades located south of Northwest 41st Street and west
of the Florida Turnpike in Dade County, Florida. Florida Rock
Industries violated the specific provisions of two permits issued by
the Corps of Engineers by failing to create 39.5 acres of shallow water
littoral zone at the site as upfront mitigation for permitted filling
activities.
The proposed Final (Consent) Judgment requires Florida Rock
Industries to fully comply with the terms of the original permits and
to create a total of 43.9 acres of shallow water littoral zone in
mitigation. This 43.9 acres is comprised of the 39.5 acres initially
required by the permits plus an additional 4.4 acres to mitigate the
impacts resulting from Florida Rock Industries' delay in complying with
the original mitigation requirements. Additionally, Florida Rock
Industries would be required to pay a $150,000 civil penalty to the
United States and would be enjoined from performing any future work in
navigable waters or wetlands without first obtaining any required
permits from the Corps or other appropriate agency.
The Department of Justice will receive written comments relating to
the proposed Final (Consent) Judgment for a period of 30 days from the
date of publication of this notice. Comments should be addressed to
William C. White, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Southern District of
Florida, 99 N.E. 4th Street, Miami, Florida 33132, and should refer to
United States v. Florida Rock Industries, Civil Action No. 94-102-CIV-
DAVIS.
The proposed Final (Consent) Judgment may be examined at the
Clerk's Office, United States District Court for the Southern District
of Florida, 301 N. Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida 33128, in Civil Action
No. 94-102-CIV-DAVIS.

Acting Assistant Attorney General, Environmental & Natural Resources
