DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed First Material Modification of 
Consent Decree Under the Clean Water Act

    On November 15, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
first material modification to the Consent Decree with the United 
States District Court for the Western District of Washington in the 
lawsuit entitled United States and State of Washington v. City of 
Seattle, Civil Action No. 2:13-cv-00678-JCC.
    The proposed modification revises provisions in a Consent Decree 
between the parties that was entered by the Court on July 3, 2013. The 
proposed modification would revise certain sewer control measures, 
design criteria, deadlines, and adaptive management procedures in the 
Consent Decree to address changed circumstances since the Decree was 
first entered, and would update and clarify a number of related 
provisions.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the modification. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural
