Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Safe
Drinking Water Act
On June 14, 2023, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed consent
decree with the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of New
York in the lawsuit entitled United
States of America v. County of Suffolk;
Suffolk County Department of Parks and
Recreation and Suffolk County
Department of Public Works, Civil
Action No. 23–CV–4369.
The United States filed this lawsuit
under the Safe Drinking Water Act, 42
U.S.C. 300f, et seq (‘‘SDWA’’). The
complaint seeks civil penalties and
injunctive relief for ongoing and past
operation of a large number of a large
capacity cesspools (‘‘LCC’’) and motor
vehicle waste disposal wells
(‘‘MVWDW’’) in violation of SDWA and
the regulations promulgated thereunder,
40 CFR 144.80 to 144.89. The relevant
regulations required the closure of all
LCCs nationwide as of April 5, 2005,
and all MVWDWs on or before January
1, 2008. Large-capacity cesspools and
motor vehicle waste disposal wells may
pose a serious risk to the public because
they may contaminate underground
sources of drinking water.
The consent decree requires the
Defendants to close the prohibited LCCs
and MVWDWs in accordance with a
timetable contained in the CJ. The LCCs
are to be closed by phased deadlines,
varying from thirty days after the
effective date of the CJ through January
2, 2031. Five facilities will be closed in
2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, three
in 2026, one in 2027, five in 2028, four
in 2030 and one in 2031. ‘‘Closure’’ for
purposes of the consent decree means
permanent closing of a facility upon
submission of a Final Closure Report
after following the procedures set forth
in the memorandum entitled ‘‘EPA
Region 2 Underground Injection Control
(UIC) Program Instructions for Class V
Remediation/Closure Plans.’’ In general,
holding tanks will be the replacement
system for recreational vehicle dump
stations and certain LCCs. Innovative
Alternative Systems, which provide
greater nitrogen reduction, will be used
for systems associated with buildings.
EPA estimates this injunctive relief will
cost $7,020,000. The consent judgment
also requires Defendants to pay a
$200,000 civil penalty.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
proposed consent decree. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
