Under the Clean Water Act

    On June 1, 2016, the United States Department of Justice filed, on 
behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency, a proposed Modification 
to the 2002 Consent Decree in United States and the State of Maryland 
v. Mayor and the City Council of Baltimore, Maryland, Civil Action No. 
1:02-CV-01524-JFM, with the United States District Court for the 
District of Maryland (``proposed Modified Consent Decree.'')
    On September 30, 2002, the Court entered the 2002 Consent Decree 
between the parties resolving Plaintiffs' claims that the City of 
Baltimore violated the Clean Water Act (the ``CWA''), 33 U.S.C. 1319(b) 
and (d), resulting from Baltimore's operation of its sewer system and 
wastewater control plant. Under the 2002 Consent Decree, Baltimore was 
required to eliminate any remaining combined sewers in the collections 
system, eliminate structures for sanitary sewer overflows (SSO), 
conduct thorough evaluations of the City's eight sewersheds, propose 
rehabilitation measures for each sewershed and implement such measures 
after approval. The 2002 Consent Decree provides for implementation 
completion by January 2016.
    Baltimore did not meet the January 2016 deadline for all of the 
rehabilitation measures. This proposed Modified Consent Decree allows 
Baltimore more time to conduct the SSO work using a two-phased 
approach. Under the proposed Modified Consent Decree, the Phase I work 
is required to be completed by January 2021, and then Baltimore is 
required to submit a Phase II Plan for EPA approval by December 2022. 
The Phase II Plan must propose a schedule for work to be completed no 
later than December 2030. After the Phase II work Baltimore will 
conduct two years of post-implementation monitoring. If after the Phase 
II work is complete the Plaintiffs determine that additional work is 
necessary, they can require Baltimore to undertake additional remedial 
measures.
