DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Amendment to Consent Decree Under the Clean Water Act
On July 5, 2013, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed amendment to a consent decree with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri in the lawsuit entitled in United States, et al. v. Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District, Civil Action No. 4:07-CV-01120.
Under the original 2012 consent decree, the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District ("MSD") agreed to undertake numerous measures to come into compliance with the Clean Water Act, including constructing and implementing specific combined sewer overflow control measures. MSD still is in the process of complying with the 2012 decree. However, the proposed amendment would replace two CSO control measures (a treatment facility and a local storage facility) as required by the 2012 decree with one single CSO storage facility.
