DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Water
Act
On November 20, 2012, the
Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States
District Court for the Southern District
of Mississippi in the lawsuit entitled
United States and State of Mississippi v.
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. The goal of the injunctive
relief required under the proposed
Consent Decree is to ensure Jackson’s
compliance with water quality
standards and the Clean Water Act.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed Consent Decree. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division, and should
refer to United States & State of
Mississippi v. City of Jackson,
Mississippi, D.J. Ref. No. 90–5–1–1–
09841. All comments must be submitted
no later than thirty (30) days after the
publication date of this notice.
