City of Jackson, Mississippi, Civil Action No. 3:12-cv-790 TSL. The proposed Consent Decree would resolve certain claims under Sections 301, 309, and 402 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq. and under the Mississippi Air and Water Pollution Control Law (‘‘MAWPCL’’) (Miss. Code Ann. §§ 49–17–1 through 49–17–45), against the City of Jackson, Mississippi (‘‘City’’ or ‘‘Jackson’’), through the performance of injunctive measures, the payment of a civil penalty, and the performance of a Supplemental Environmental Project (‘‘SEP’’). The United States and the State of Mississippi allege that the City is liable as a person who has discharged a pollutant from a point source to navigable waters of the United State without a permit and, in some cases, in excess of permit limitations. The proposed Consent Decree would resolve the liability of Jackson for the violations alleged in the complaint filed in this matter. To resolve these claims, Jackson would perform the injunctive measures as described in the proposed Consent Decree. More specifically, the proposed Consent Decree will require Jackson to implement comprehensive injunctive relief to assess and rehabilitate a majority of its collection system within approximately 18 years to eliminate wet weather/capacity-related Sanitary Sewer Overflows (‘‘SSOs’’) and develop and implement specific management, operation, and maintenance (‘‘MOM’’) programs that EPA determined were missing or deficient.
