Act

In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v.
District of Columbia, Civil Action Nos. 84-2842 and 90-1643, was lodged

Decree, defendant has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $500,000, to
test and implement an experimental technology for reducing nitrogen
discharges harmful to the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay, and to
undertake additional actions to improve operation of the plant.
