DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean Water
Act and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

Notice is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United
States v. Denver Water Board, Civil Action No. 99-S-1156, was lodged on
June 15, 1999 with the United States District Court for the District of
Colorado. The United States filed this action pursuant to the Clean
Water Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act to obtain
civil penalties and an injunction to address the illegal disposal of
hazardous wastes and discharges to the South Platte River. The Consent
Decree requires the Board to pay a penalty of $48,000, and to implement
supplemental environmental projects including the construction of a new
paint shop that will reduce the amount of hazard wastes being produced,
construction of a new car wash that will reduce the amount of water and
detergent being used, construction of a waste storage and training
area, and the re-vegetation of certain banks of the South Platte River.
In addition, the Consent Decree requires the Board to comply with the
Clean Water Act and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act by, among
other things, taking steps to characterize its wastes and post required
information in hazardous waste storage areas.
The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the
proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division,
