DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of a Consent Decree
Under the Clean Water Act
Notice is hereby given that on
December 29, 2011, a proposed Consent
Decree in United States and State of
Indiana v. City of South Bend, Indiana,
Civil Action No. 3:11CV505 was lodged
with the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Indiana.
In this case, the United States and the
State of Indiana (Indiana) seek civil
penalties and injunctive relief for
violations of the Clean Water Act, 33
U.S.C. 1251 et seq., Title 13 of the
Indiana Code, Title 327 of the Indiana
Administrative Code, and certain terms
and conditions of National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System permits
that Indiana issued to the City of South
Bend (South Bend) for the relevant time
periods, related to alleged discharges of
untreated sewage from South Bend’s
combined sewer collection system, i.e.
‘‘combined sewer overflows,’’ during
wet weather events, and some dry
weather time periods, into ‘‘waters of
the United States’’ and ‘‘waters of the
state.’’
The proposed Consent Decree would
require South Bend to reduce its
combined sewer overflows by
comprehensively upgrading and
expanding its sewage collection, storage,
conveyance, and treatment system, at a
cost of approximately $509.5 million in
2007 dollars. South Bend must complete
these improvements by December 31,
2031 or, if South Bend demonstrates
financial hardship, by December 31,
2036. Additionally, the proposed Decree
requires South Bend to pay a total civil
penalty of $88,200 split equally between
the United States and the State of
Indiana.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to the proposed Consent Decree.

Sfmt 4703
Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act) allows the mine operator or
representative of miners to file a
petition to modify the application of any
mandatory safety standard to a coal or
other mine if the Secretary of Labor
determines that:
(1) An alternative method of
achieving the result of such standard
exists which will at all times guarantee
no less than the same measure of
protection afforded the miners of such
mine by such standard; or
(2) That the application of such
standard to such mine will result in a
diminution of safety to the miners in
such mine.
In addition, the regulations at 30 CFR
44.10 and 44.11 establish the
requirements and procedures for filing
petitions for modification.
II. Petitions for Modification
Docket Number: M–2011–040–C.
Petitioner: D & F Deep Mine, 15
Motter Drive, Pine Grove, Pennsylvania
17963.
Mine: Buck Drift #2 Mine, MSHA I.D.
No. 36–09963, 15 Motter Drive, Pine
Grove, Pennsylvania 17963, located in
Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1100–
2(a)(2) (Quantity and location of
firefighting equipment).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit the use of portable
fire extinguishers only to replace
existing requirements where rock dust,
water cars, and other water storage
equipped with three 10-quart pails is
not practical. The petitioner states that:
(1) Equipping its small anthracite
mine with two portable fire
extinguishers near the slope bottom and
an additional portable fire extinguisher
within 500 feet of the working face will
provide equivalent fire protection.
(2) Anthracite coal is low in volatile
matter and dust is not explosive.
(3) The working section is at or below
mine pool elevation with frequent
pumping required to de-water the work
area.
(4) All up-pitch workings of moderate
to steep pitch are accessed only through
ladders making the carrying of water in
pails impractical.
(5) Electric face equipment is
nonexistent in this hand-loading
anthracite mine and only air-operated
equipment is used in or in by the last
open crosscut.
(6) The history of underground
anthracite mines shows that fires
occurring in the working faces are
