obligations. In 2014, the Commission completed the Lynn Water and Sewer 
Commission Combined Sewer Overflow Supplemental Facilities Plan Update 
(``2014 CSO Plan''), which recommends alternative CSO abatement 
projects to certain obligations required under the SMCD.
    The Third Modified Consent Decree (``TMCD'') requires the 
Commission to implement the CSO abatement projects recommended in the 
2014 CSO Plan. The TMCD also requires the Commission to implement a 
program to detect and eliminate illicit discharges to the Commission's 
storm sewer system and to implement plans to improve management,
