restoration plan approved by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency and the United States Army Corps of Engineers; and (b) that AVLC
donate to a conservation group for preservation a 23-acre tract of land
consisting primarily of wetlands. The consent decree does not resolve
the United States' claims against the former president of Arlington
Valley Land Company, Defendant Mickie Jarvill.
The Department of Justice will receive written comments relating to
the proposed consent decree for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of publication of this notice. Comments should be addressed to the
