Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree

    In accordance with Departmental Policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed Consent Decree in United States v. 
Villegas, Civil Action No. 1:24-cv-962, was lodged with the United 
States District Court for the District of Colorado on April 10, 2024.

United States against Defendants Thomas and Amy Villegas, pursuant to

from the Defendants for violating the Clean Water Act by discharging 
pollutants without a permit into waters of the United States. The Clean 
Water Act violations concern filling, grading, and excavation 
activities conducted in Lincoln County, Nebraska, along a braided
