DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Second
Amended Consent Decree Under the
Clean Water Act
On June 5, 2018, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed Second
Amended Consent Decree with the
United States District Court for the
Northern District of Ohio in the lawsuit
entitled United States v. City of Akron,
Ohio, et al., Civil Action No. 09–cv–
00272.
In this action the United States, and
the State of Ohio in a cross-claim,
sought civil penalties and injunctive
relief for violations of the Clean Water
Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq., in
connection with the City of Akron’s
(‘‘Akron’s’’ or ‘‘City’s’’) operation of its
municipal wastewater treatment facility
and sewer system. Under the Consent
Decree, which was approved by the
Court in January 2014, Akron was
required to develop and implement a
comprehensive plan to address
overflows from its combined sewer
system and bypasses around secondary
treatment at the wastewater treatment
facility. That plan, known as the ‘‘Long
Term Control Plan Update’’ (‘‘LTCP
Update’’), which was approved by the
United States in November 2011 and the
State of Ohio in April 2012, sets forth
specific projects that the City is required
to implement, and identifies dates for
completion of these projects.
The proposed amendment modifies
provisions of the 2014 Consent Decree
that are set forth in the City’s LTCP
Update. Specifically, the proposed
amendment would permit the City to
install a different biologically enhanced
high rate treatment technology to
address remaining secondary bypasses
at its wastewater treatment plant; the
2014 Consent Decree requires the City to
use a BioActiflo system, whereas the
proposed amendment would allow it to
use a BioCEPT system instead. The
proposed amendment also addresses
requirements for four storage basins in
the City’s sewer collection system. The
City would increase the size of one of
the storage basins, and would not be
required to build the remaining basins.
Instead, it would expand existing
‘‘underflow’’ pipes at those combined
sewer overflow (‘‘CSO’’) locations,
which would allow it to optimize flow,
increasing the amount of wastewater
PO 00000
Frm 00044

Sfmt 4703
that it sends to the wastewater treatment
plant. In addition, at three of the CSO
locations, the City would install a
variety of green infrastructure projects
that are collectively capable of
addressing specified volumes of
stormwater.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
Second Amended Consent Decree.
Comments should be addressed to the
Assistant Attorney General,
Environment and Natural Resources
Division, and should refer to United
States v. City of Akron, Ohio, et al., D.J.
Ref. No. 90–5–1–1–3144/2. All
comments must be submitted no later
than thirty (30) days after the
publication date of this notice.
