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.
