sewer overflows (‘‘CSOs’’) violate the
Clean Water Act because the City’s
discharge of untreated sewage into the
Ohio River violates limitations and
conditions in the City’s National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit. The Complaint further
alleges that the City failed to adequately
control for solids and floatables as well
as failed to timely submit a control plan
to address its CSO discharge.
Under the proposed Consent Decree,
the City would be required to: (1)
Implement injunctive measures that will
eliminate all discharges from its CSOs,
at a total cost of approximately $12.5
million; (2) pay the United States a civil
penalty of $49,000; and (3) pay the State
of Ohio a civil penalty of $49,000. The
proposed Decree would require the
sewer improvements to be implemented
over an 18-year period.

for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to the proposed Consent Decree.
