Washington Suburban Sanitation Commission, was lodged on July 26, 2005, with the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division. In the United States’ complaint filed in this matter, the United States alleges violations of Sections 301 and 504 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1311, 1364, and in its complaint in intervention, Maryland alleges violations of Sections 9–322 and 9–323 of the Maryland Environment Article, and other State law, arising from unpermitted discharges of wastewater from WSSC’s sanitary sewer collection system to various waters of the United States and the State. Four citizens groups—the Anacostia Watershed Society, the Audubon Naturalist Society of the Central Atlantic States, the Friends of Sligo Creek and the Natural Resources Defense Council also intervened as coplaintiff, filing a complaint in intervention under the Clean Water Act’s citizens suit provision. The proposed Consent Decree would resolve all of the claims alleged in the United States’, Maryland’s and the Citizens Groups’ complaints, and would result in the performance of injunctive measures, the payment of a civil penalty of $1,100,000 (shared equally by the United States and Maryland), and the performance of three Supplemental Environmental Projects (‘‘SEPs’’) valued at no less than $4,400,000. WSSC has estimated that the injunctive measures, which include comprehensive inspection, rehabilitation, and repair requirements for sewer lines, pump stations, and other system components, and comprehensive changes in the operation and maintenance of its collection system will add an additional $200,000,000 to the funds already budgeted by WSSC for collection system E:\FR\FM\11AUN1.SGM 11AUN1
