Proposed Stipulated Order of Partial Dismissal, Endangered Species Act Claims
In accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator's October 16, 2017, Directive Promoting Transparency and Public Participation in Consent Decrees and Settlement Agreements, notice is hereby given of a proposed stipulated order of partial dismissal to address several claims in a lawsuit filed by the Northwest Environmental Advocates (``Plaintiff'') in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington: Northwest Environmental Advocates v. United States Environmental Protection Agency, No. 2:14- cv-0196. On September 1, 2015, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint alleging, inter alia, that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') failed to perform duties mandated by the Endangered Species Act (``ESA'') to consult with the Fish & Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service (collectively ``the Services'') regarding water quality standards adopted by Washington and approved by the EPA. The proposed stipulated order of partial dismissal would set a deadline for EPA to complete an ESA effects determination for its February 11, 2008, approval of Washington's revisions to the State's ammonia criteria and, as appropriate, request initiation of any necessary ESA consultation with the Services.

Oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono[2-[2-(2-methoxymethylethoxy)methylethoxy]methylether] ether; Tolerance Exemption
