Notice of Lodging of Consent Decrees Pursuant to Clean Water Act

In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is

hereby given that a proposed Modification of a 1995 Consent Decree in

Slagle v. United States (D. Minn.) was lodged with the United States

District Court for the District of Minnesota on November 6, 1999. This

case arises, and the proposed Modification of the Consent Decree

secures relief, under the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251-1387.

The proposed Modification of the Consent Decree would provide for

the addition of three undisturbed lakeshore lots within the violation

site, which were previously available for development, to the area

subject to restrictive land use covenants, for development on three

previously disturbed lakeshore lots on which further development was

prohibited under the 1995 Consent Decree, and for additional wetlands

restoration work.

The Department of Justice will receive, until thirty (30) days from

the date of this notice, written comments relating to the proposed

Modification of the Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the

United States Department of Justice, Assistant Attorney General,

Environment and Natural Resources Division, 601 D Street, NW, Suite

8000, Washington, DC, 20004, to the attention of Lewis M. Barr, Senior

Trial Counsel, Environmental Defense Section, and should refer to

Slagle v. United States (D. Minn.) and to DJ Reference No. 90-5-1-5-92.

The proposed Modification of the Consent Decree may be examined at

the Clerks's Office, United States District Court for the District of

Minnesota, United States Courthouse, Room 600, 300 South Fourth Street,

Minneapolis, Minnesota 55415 during regular business hours, or copies
