DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Amendment to Consent Decree Under
the Clean Water Act
On April 4, 2013, the Department of
Justice lodged with the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia a proposed Second
Amendment to the Consent Decree
previously entered in United States and
Commonwealth of Virginia v. Hampton
Roads Sanitation District, Civil Action
No. 2:09-cv-481 (‘‘Second
Amendment’’).
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703

Hampton Roads Sanitation District
(‘‘HRSD’’) and the Localities 1 are
evaluating the potential benefits and
feasibility of regionalization and
consolidation of the Localities’ sewage
collection systems under a single
regional entity, HRSD. Presently, HRSD
generally owns and operates the large
interceptor force mains and related
pumping stations, as well as the sewage
treatment plants, and the Localities
generally own and operate the local
sewage collection lines, many of which
are gravity lines, and associated
pumping stations. The proposed Second
Amendment provides that the Regional
Wet Weather Management Plan,
originally due on November 26, 2013,
will be due no later than October 1,
2016, so that HRSD and the Localities
will have time to evaluate and, if
appropriate, to implement the transfer
of Locality sewer systems to HRSD. The
proposed Second Amendment also sets
forth a phased sequence and schedule
for the decision-making process of
HRSD and the Localities as they
consider regionalization and
consolidation of the Localities’ sewage
collection systems under a single
regional entity, HRSD, and for the
transfer of Locality assets should
regionalization proceed.2 Finally, HRSD
commits in the Second Amendment to
implement an additional 18 capital
projects, with an estimated cost of
approximately $60 million, to continue
to improve local water quality
notwithstanding the extension.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed Second Amendment.
Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General,
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, and should refer to United
States et al. v. Hampton Roads
Sanitation District, D.J. Ref. No.90–5–1–
1–09125. All comments must be
submitted no later than thirty (30) days
after the publication date of this notice.
Comments may be submitted either by
email or by mail:
1 The Localities are the thirteen municipal and
county governments that collect and convey
wastewaters to the HRSD system for further
conveyance and treatment at the HRSD sewage
treatment plants.
2 The Localities are not parties to the consent
decree and are not subject to the jurisdiction of the
Court. It is anticipated that HRSD and the Localities
will evaluate jointly the consolidation of the sewer
systems, pumping stations, and other
appurtenances, and that each Locality will need to
elect to transfer assets to HRSD as part of any
regionalization process.
